Adjustable pier system
 A plurality of longitudinally extending deck elements are each supported by transversely directed horizontal support rods at each end of each deck element. The rods are slidably removable through transversely aligned holes through vertical angle brackets paired to be adjacent the ends of the deck elements. The angle brackets are coupled at fixed elevations, relative to the water surface, to appropriately located pilings or bulkheads, and include a plurality of vertically spaced apart holes accepting the support rods at differing elevations. Brackets couple the end of the deck element to the corresponding support rod in a manner allowing some relative longitudinal displacement to allow for installation of the deck element as a ramp or to enable one end of the deck element to remain installed while the other end is adjusted to a different elevation. A portable hoist device which, in use, removably couples to, extends upwardly from, and spans, a transverse pair of the angle brackets such that its hoist depends centrally over the end of the deck element to be adjusted in elevation of the pier.
