Stop walking away from residential boat docks and the opportunity to inspect them as an ancillary inspection (view the Standards of Practice [SOPS]).
For those wanting to upsell, you can start inspecting boat docks, lifts and boathouses using my new Boat Dock template for Home Inspector Pro!

Loading the InterNACHI Narrative Library template for Home Inspector Pro into their software will not change the way the HIP software works. You will still have access to all the templates that come with Home Inspector Pro software, but the INL Boat Dock template will appear in your list as an additional choice.

This template is the first of its kind, developed with those new to boat dock inspection in mind. In compliance with InterNACHI's SOPs it does not require entering the water.

For online boat lift manuals, follow this link!

For more guidance in inspecting docks and boat lifts, check out the reference material in the menu on my website

The Boat Dock inspection template contains a little over 2,100 comments under the following Heading and Sub-heading titles:
