New docks (alot of them) are being assembled on East side of channel right under golf course. I would say at least $200-300K worth. Anyone know where they are going?

Thank god because they are gel wreckers as they are now. Tie the boat off a good foot away in every direction and fenders.
They might make it a little longer, but the new docks a Windsor made it about 6 months before all the corners were bare.:(

I noticed that also. Most of the docks there have seen better days.

Wow these are going to be great if you have to jump off the boat barefooted or rolling an ice chest to/from your boat.

I can't see a single shell, it's all aggregate.
Looks like a great foot massage to me.😄😄

Is there anything you guys don't complain about, sheesh.🤪😇
I do see several positives to that surface texture. #1 is obviously traction, highly unlikely you'll slip, but if you do or fall, you best have some bandages handy. :oops:

Now it's rocks and shells, as a child it was removing long silvers due to the weathered wood planking on the docks, it's dangerous out there folks. 🥴

Anyway, in this case not my problem. I haven't stepped on a London Bridge Resort dock in well over 30 years, doubt I'll have any need to now either. 😁

No!

By the way shouldn’t there be a question mark at the end of yoRe sentence or is that just a statement? 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪

Who uses rolling ice chests these days? It’s all about the soft coolers that are 100lbs loaded with ice and drinks that takes a forklift to lift onto the boat. 😂😂
Pfft….This RDP….the cooler is loaded into the boat after pulled from rack storage and before the valet launches the boat for you. 😂😂😂😂

The LB did such a good job with dock maintenance on the old docks, I guess they needed something else to reduce future maintenance costs. :)

Would not be my first idea for docks, but then again we are talking LB. Charge a fortune for the cheapest things possible.

Are they even going to float with all that stone and concrete?

Every slip I had in Texas (3) was concrete…but removable pieces with a brushed finish. That looks like a lawsuit on a busted up kid waiting to happen. Looks like a low bidder job. Trying to be nice but damn I’d hate to bust ass on that.

No idea why they didn’t pick something decent. A lot of composite decking has come a long way since it first came out.

They could’ve done Wear Deck.

Was it really 6 months ? ? I'm thinking more like 3 months, they went to shit real fast. I would love to see a decent dock, and some form of a break of the wakes coming from the lake from idiots who plow past right at the buoy line ..... and of course waves from wind. Would be nice!!!!

Wrong, it's loaded on the launch ramp 3ft from the waters edge 🤣
With all 8 passengers chest deep in the water on both sides helping "launch" the boat blocking at least two other boats from backing down...........the circus 🎪 music blaring inside my brain is nauseating. 🤪🤣😂

Is that really what the dock surface is? I can't wrap my head around a single positive of that. I can hardly stand to be barefooted on the mild exposed concrete around the pool, that shit looks brutal

Looking at the difference between that surface and the sides I think there’s something that goes on top of that.

New docks are going in. Maybe it's just the way they look but man the slips look small. Perfect for bass boats.
