Did you notice his marina puts the trailer on blocks? I knew if
my father did it, it might be overkill, but there was some
engineering reason behind it.
My dealer doesn't, and he stores hundreds of boats over the winter
for customers. Mostly larger boats, too.
I can think of a few reasons.
The tires will develop flat spots over time. That happens with our
vehicles in Florida over the summer while we're gone. It takes a few
weeks of driving around before they go away.

Another traditional reason is security. It is much more difficult to
steal a trailer and boat if there are no wheels on the trailer.
It's even harder if all the stored boats are locked up in an active
fenced storage facility where no one is allowed to move boats except
dealership employees, and there's a watchman. It's a huge facility,
and the grounds outside the boatyard has a number of other high value
clients. Oh, and there's a watchman service. This is not your average
mom and pop boatstore operation.


Yep - keep on thinking that.


With all those other boats, why would someone mess with a LTP?





It's mildly funny when Shortpants Tom says this, but when a boating
numnutz like you does, it just makes you look dumber than usual. Your
comments, after all, are based on what? Your imaginary trips across the
dangerous waters of Lake Lanier?
