In addition to narratives for fixed and floating boat docks this searchable Excel spreadsheet library contains narratives for a variety of boat lift types and boathouses. These narratives can be copied and pasted into any inspection software. For those new to boat dock inspection see the reference material on my website under Dock/Lift Reference in the menu.
