Dry-docking a Weta
I bought a Weta (#1297) late last year and am planning to store it on my dock on a lake in upstate NY. There is not spot for beach storage and launching. I don’t want the Weta to be in the water when not in use, so I’m looking for ideas or designs for dry docking the Weta. One option is a JetSki drive-up dock and attach it to the existing dock. Another option is to make a hinged, wood dock section with sufficient flotation for the Weta to be dry when puled up.
Has anyone seen or heard of something like this arrangement? And photos or designs available?
Thank you
Tony

I can't find any good pictures of it, but the Stanford sailing center in Redwood City has a mix of drive-on docks for chase boats paired with low wooden docks with rollers, carpet, and cradles for their 420s. It's pretty slick. The peak waves there are smaller than Seneca Lake on a big day, but otherwise similar to the Finger Lakes.
