Breakwater costs?

Over on Winnisqaum the Dock area around the point has what looks like a floating breakwater that's moored on both ends. Might be something cheaper to look into.

Edit: found this, not the type they had , but same idea.
Called a wave brake.

a fixed dock no matter how well built if you are in an area where there are ice flows happening during ice out it will get wrecked at some point. The breakwater is mainly for help with the ice flows for me. I also use a sunstream lift (not cheap either 10 to 12K) to keep the boat from getting knocked around with all the waves along with keeping it clean. I'm on the broad side with NW wind exposure so it gets wild out there at times and I'm glad to be on a lift behind the breakwater.

good luck
