Replaced and old dock couple of years ago. I have 2 X 8 dock joist with 2 X 6 decking. I set the bottom of my joist one inch above fool pool. So at fool pool, the top of the dock is 10 inches above the water. This works very well. We are rarely at 490 for long, and until we drop say about 2 feet or so, I can enter and exit the boats fine. Have a floater for lower water levels.

Fortunately, some time ago, I had placed a screw in an old dock post at exactly 490. Kept the post for reference. Then pulled strings from the screw to the the outer, middle, and inner post of the new dock so that I was sure the dock joists throughtout its length were one inch above full pool. Darn, it worked fine.
