good point, I hadn't thought of that. i'd probably do best if I used two containers mounted port and starboard... like outriggers I suppose to reduce chance of tipping... thanks

in reading about buoyancy in wiki what I really need to do is figure out the volume of 1000 lbs of salt water and replace that volume with air?

the trailer and tank rig will remain in the water

I'll do my best to explain the goal. Where I live has restrictions as to how big my dock can be, how high, etc. There are no restrictions though on how many boats we can have. Since here in Florida it's best to keep boats out of water when stored because of veg and little critters like to attach...

didn't mean to shout, just a cut and past thing obviously the air would be contained in a tank or container of some sort.. just need to know how big a tank or container I need to have

i'm building my own floating dock. how do I calculate the volume of air I need to float a 1000 lbs boat completely out of the water? thank you
