Default Southern vs northern boats

What a load of bull Bart. Southern boats are used and maintained year
around while northern boats develope hull humps from sitting in a
cradle half the time. All that moisture trapped in the shrink wraps and
plastic hulls freezes and un freezes so many times they all develope
osmosis blisters.

If a hull develops "humps" from sitting in a cradle, the keel isn't being
properly supported.

The boat is being supported as well as it would be while sitting in a
cradle, the cradle pads are only there to keep the boat from tipping over.
