i got bored at coop and used autocad to draw up some plans, there kinda sketch casue i had to shrink them like crazy.

obviously the hight of the posts is gonna depend on how deep your lake is and u could also make some supports so it just sits on the bottem of ur lake and weigh it.

the second pic is really small now but if anyone wants them i can email them.

heroldmike you might want to add 2x4's from the end of your bottom support going up half way for more support. I basicly have the same rail but instead of 2x4s for you side support i have 2x6s and i found that screws don't hold your bottom support in place, there is just to much weight
