I have rebuilt a treated wood dinghy dock rack or base twice in ten years. The treated wood rots quickly here in Florida. What have others used to build a support for their dinghy when it’s off the boat?

There are people building/repairing docks there somewhere? Ask them? Also A quick google search would also give you a listing of suppliers in your area. Promise, it’s not hard.
No, actually not -- I live about as far from salt water as you can get on the North American continent and the guy down the street is not building a dock. And I did google search before I posted -- I get a ton of sources on how high level CCA treated lumber was outlawed for most residential uses in 2003/04, how it's going to kill us all, etc., and no sources in this area for it, even though it's not outlawed or banned generally. I did get a long list of uses the EPA says is no longer allowed, except for giant agricultural loopholes (no big surprise there) for uses like fenceposts. Your post caught my attention because we built a new deck a few years ago and I wanted posts and ground-contact lumber that would last more than five minutes before rotting and I didn't want to use the wimpy stuff at the big-box stores. I wasn't able to find any source for about 1,500 miles, except for one supplier in Chicago but they said I had to be a licensed contractor with some kind of special EPA permit and order a
high enough quantity to built the pyramids twice over.
