Landing craft, quad sized.

Our lake cabin has a floating dock, about 15' x 8', tied to shore and accessed via a simple plank. The dock is foam blocks encased in a wood frame and planked on both sides. There are runners on the bottom side so it can be hauled up on the beach. Wood is white cedar, fasteners are stainless. When we need to move large materials or a quad we put them on the floating dock and push it with a conventional outboard boat tied alongside. It's not super fast, but we've gotta have a dock anyway and it gets the job done. The outboard boat serves well for schlepping people and luggage, fishing, and otherwise zipping around the lake.

This is a thought that has definitely occurred to me. How large is the outboard on the boat you use to move your dock?
