You should check out NH Craig's list. Type aluminum dock in the "search Craig's list" bar.

If you are a "do it yourselfer" then the aluminum is the way to go, I purchased our 6' X 40' off from Craigslist 3 seasons ago.
It takes us (my wife and I) 45 minutes to put in and 30 minutes to take out, once the first section is in and leveled the others are a cinch.

Nice spot, worthy of your dock for sure. Rude question but what do these really cost? I got a bid for 7500 plus install for 6- 10X4 sections and 40 ft long with a 20X8 section for cockails on the end. seems pricey

we were orginally looking at crank up docks 3 years ago and the price was very similiar, that is what prompted us to start looking elsewhere.
we paid $1800 for this used dock, keep looking you might find a deal.

This is an Eastern Township Dock, I believe there is a dealer in Belmont?

I think I paid about $10K for my 6x40 tilt up back in '05. That included taking out the old dock, rebuilding the landing and installing some steps into the water. One of the best features of the tilt up is that I can take it in and out by myself. I can take care of the whole process in an hour or two.

We too paid a little more than $10K for our new crank-up dock from Watermark a couple years ago. Even though it was a more expensive option, the in and out is a breeze and Watermark did everything from soup to nuts including the permit, removing the old dock, new concrete pad, new aluminum dock, and after setting up the hardware they even taught us how to do it ourselves. It was well worth it!
