The drive on floating docks are crazy expensive. I was quoted $9000. And finding a used one in my area nearly impossible. But will say best money I've ever spent on the boat.
I am dealing with a pipeline and only about 75’ of space. Typical boat house here is upwards of $50k so.. a floating dock at even $15k isn’t bad.

Once the back end of the boat is on there you will have 0 thrust either direction, so unless it has rollers or something I don't see it coming back off easily. An outboard sticks down below the hull, so even on the floating dock you can still get thrust. These work fine for jet ski's, but they don't weight 3000 lbs either.
Did you get a drive on dock? If yes, which one and is it easy to get off? We are in our 60's and want something we can do!
