Dock Builders New Port Richey
Dock builders in New Port Richey keep a dock plus boat on the canals feeding the Pithlachascotee River within the lesser of 25 feet or one third of the canal width (City Code Sec. 5-47).
We connect New Port Richey owners with licensed marine contractors who design to it.
