I am moving my boat from sal****er to the Great Lakes. Is there anything
in
particular I have to do differently? Also, if I plan on keeping it in a
slip, should I paint the bottom?

Thanks



You didn't mention which lake. If the others are anything like Lake Ontario,
don't assume that 3 foot waves behave anything like the same size waves on
the ocean. They don't. Lots of people return from the lake on otherwise
nice, sunny days looking like they've been through the perfect storm.

Start small until you know the lake well, unless you want to be the subject
of a song like "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".
