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?


Harry,
This was not suppossed to set you off, it was a little joke, since you
seem to like the same joke made by SWS, Eisboch, and numerous others, I
didn't think it was **** you off.

I do have to tell you I really don't have any imaginary boating
experience, all of my are real.


Sure, Reggie. Just like all your 50 IDs here are real.
