I'm not positive but I think there is an association that dictates what the docks look like. They are made from wood and all have the same design. And yes they are numbered to identify each property.

My kids watched "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" the other day and low and behold it has a Gar Wood in it. Below is a link to a clip of the movie. It's a big file > 10MB. Check it out.

The Gar Wood section has been very quiet so I thought I post a couple of pics on my progress. I took a couple of weeks off around the holidays and got some "quality" time on the boat. I have the framing complete, new stem and gripe fit, new keel with rabbit cut and the chines are steam bent waiting ...

Mystery Holes in Stem
I remove the Stem assembly this weekend and noticed 2 extra holes in the Stem (see pic). The 2 holes go all the way through and are plugged on the outside. I’m 99% sure this is the original Stem, did the factory use these for something? Why are they there? http://www.postimage.org/aV_o5d9.jpg [/img]
