Looked at a house in Seaford today. Waterfront. Was amazing. Putting a bid in tomorrow. The bulkhead doesnt have a floating dock. Can you add cleats directly to the deck and tie off right to the bulkhead? Or do i need to install a small dock. Would love to hear feedback and opinions.

You can but you would need some sort fender system . Is it deep enough ? Is it open or protected water way ? If open wind and waves would be a big issue .

Protected waterway. Definitely deep enough. Another trojan in the canal.

How are they tied-up? See how your would-be neighbors have solved the problem.
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!
