Ok.. so in our Canal, we don't have the luxury of space to build a
traditional 4 piling boat house. instead, we were thinking about
building half a boat house, at a slight angle, with some strong base
supports for the pilings.M
so we have 60 feet to work with..... here is something i was just
tinkering with... i was wondering if anyone had any idea on what we
are really trying to accomplish: cover a 24ft boat and a 15ft boat
without building a 4 post boat house/lift.

.... = shore
~~ = water
|| = piling (15ft above water)
\\ = structure supports (at an angle)
MM = lightweight siding

The boats would be under the MMMM's

if you were looking at the supports from a different angle, it would
kind of look like this
