Default Dock lifespan in SC

Hi all,
After too many years of snow and boats and cares we can't
use but 5 months a year, we recently toured a lot of the south
and ultimately bought a creek-front lot in Beaufort, SC. With
that, I have a few questions.

1. The ajoining 5 neighbors of ours are all getting together
to build a shared dock. How long will a dock built with today's
methods and materials go before it will need updates or total
replacement in water there?

2. They are thinking it will be about 600 feet of walkway and
then to a covered platform, forking left and right to a 40 foot
dock on each side. They are estimating around $120K. Are they
close?

3. Finally, I noticed while down that everyone seemed to use
bunk trailers, while up here in New England, most of us use
roller trailers. How come?

Thanks.
