Toronto Boat Show

The Toronto Boat Show started this year on January 10th and runs through to January 18th. We were able to visit the show this year on the first Saturday. The crowd was large but we managed to see all the exhibits and talk to some of the exhibitors and see what is new on the water for 2015. It is a great place to browse and see up close what you sometimes only imagine. The high-lite for us was the massive indoor lake and Aquarium loaded with fish. It is really interesting to see various lures perform in somewhat real conditions. There were some pretty exciting outboard and electric motor technology on display at the show this year. For us it was a great opportunity to reconnect with some old friends and meet some new ones.

Toronto Boat Show World’s Largest Indoor Lake for Boaters

The Ricoh Coliseum holds the worlds largest indoor lake made specifically for the Toronto Boat Show. According to the Toronto Boat Show staff at the lake it took over six days to build. The lake officially holds in excess of one million gallons of water pumped in from Lake Ontario. It is a pretty awesome site especially with some of the horsepower on display.

Toronto Boat Show “The Great Canadian Fish Tank”

This 40-foot long 5,000 gallon aquarium contains loads of Ontario’s stocked fish. You can actually see how some fish react to various lures and techniques as presented by some of the shows top anglers. Great place for folks of all ages to hang out and learn something they can take back to the cottage or favorite fishing hole.

Docks on Bobs Lake

Richardson Docks is looking forward to helping cottage and home owners with their water front projects in the Sharbot lake and Bobs lake region this summer. One of our first project this year is a set of new docks on Bobs Lake. We are now starting to take orders for this summer’s building season so if you are anywhere near Perth or Sharbot Lake we can probably get you in early this season.

Bobs Lake May Long Weekend

We will be on Bobs Lake on Thursday May 14th or Friday May 15th with a newly built floating dock/barge. We will be near the Bradshaw Road boat launch so if anyone has a building project or large load they would like taken to their cottage we will be available to help you out. As part of our 2015 promotion we will do this at no cost for you. Just fire off an email to us richardsondocks@gmail.com

Bobs Lake Docks

One of the challenges some folks have on Bobs Lake is the rugged shore line. With some pretty inaccessible spots, our docks make an ideal solution. They can be built and actually driven into location. With our pontoon floats, it is only natural to want to use your dock for multiple purposes.

Fluctuating Water Levels on Bobs Lake

Each summer water levels on Bobs Lake drop dramatically from the spring high. Stationary docks are somewhat problematic since they can be several feet off the water by the end of the summer. Floating docks remain constant so they are an ideal solution for these conditions. Our floating pontoons are also designed to withstand the ice conditions in winter, meaning you do not have to remove them. This is a huge deal since very few systems are meant to be left over winter. Anyone putting in and taking out docks can appreciate this fact.

Our docks come completely assembled and ready to use or they can be purchased as a do-it-yourself package. Since we manufacture the floats they can be made at any length. The do-it-yourself package is easy to assemble with all the components partially together for easy shipping. All you have to purchase is the decking and put it together with our easy instructions.
