Anyone have a ballpark estimate for a 8'x40' deck rebuild? Existing deck is over a freshwater canal. Cost would include tear out of old deck and replacement with marine grade lumber.

Yeah. If a wheelchair ramp is going for $18k, you may want to have some nerve pills on hand for this quote.
Whatever the "contractor" estimates, know:
1) They're right
2) You're wrong
3) The $80K truck is 100% justified and necessary

Do pilings need to be replaced too?
Check pilings well. Could still be some rot under water. If pilings are actually good and where you want them, that could be a DIY job over a few weekends depending on your schedule.
When ours was being built 2 years ago, it was running about $1000 a foot. That was everything turn key, wiring, pilings the whole 9 yards plus a dock that can be lowered and raised via a remote control or a switch. I would imagine with some of those items already there and in serviceable shape, prob $500 a foot. Our dock was almost 70' long, simple math for final price.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
