Off on the Pax River's creeks, you see lots of very large boats...40

====================================

Same here in SW FL, the vast majority of my neighbors have their boats
in lifts. The benefits are greatly reduced corrosion, bottom fouling,
gel coat blistering, as well as protection from wake damage and storm
surge (up to a point).


I agree...and it sure puts a lot of waterfront contractors to work.
Gotta wonder about the costs involved in putting together a lift that'll
hold up 20-30 tons...and in installing it, including pilings.
