Now I've heard it all.... it's bad to haul your boat out!! Good Grief!
Do you think it's *good* for it to remove the hull from the even support
of the water, and put it on jackstands or a cradle?
Here's a bit of news... if you are not living on your boat... it's a damned
smart move to haul it when you know for a fact you are not going to use it!
Why? Are you afraid that it might sink because of incompetent maintenance?
If you do live on your boat and are not underway for extended periods or
enroute.... it most definitely pays to haul your boat on a regular basis!
Why?
How can you say "it pays" when it's actually rather expensive?
If you live on a boat tied to a mooring for 90% of the time... a 3 year
haul-out cycle is ridiculously incompetent!
Why?
I named the reasons to haul a boat out of the water. Can you provide
some other reasons to cover your claims?
