New Dock Suggestions

My old aluminum dock which must be original to the 1950's or 1960's is so danged old and rickety that it is loosing its' rivets. It gets shaky with the motorboat waves, and the other day I put on a dive mask and snorkel and picked up about 15 lost aluminum rivets off the bottom.

I plan on keeping this 30' old rickety aluminum dock and fixing it forever.....it's a classic ....and very different than the late model aluminum docks. Old aluminum docks never die.......they just pop their rivets and get a little wave-shaky which gives them a swing & sway type of a personal movement...........as it grows old......it starts to lose its grip on stability? ..
