To some it's like selling your boat without all the hassles.

Seems a lot of boats were damaged in the recent storms in Florida.
Some of the tv coverage was taken at marina's, one I saw was at Crandon
Marina in Miami, two boats about 20' in lenght were just tied up against
the
dock.
They were relatively new with what seemed like 150+Hp outboards, felt bad
seeing them
bang against the dock like that. The camera crew checked on them every
so
often and
they were beaten pretty bad by the end of the storm Lots of cracked and
broken fiberglass.
Made me wonder why people you leave boats like that in the water. These
two
boats were
definetly trailerable but they were left in the water. I know some
larger
boats you just have
to take your chances but at least try to do something to protect them.
Are they just new boaters that don't know any better, Old boaters that
just
don't care anymore
or people hoping more for an insurance claim than getting back on the
water.
