This crazy...........a three day haul in NY costs a couple of hundred
dollars. It take 30 minutes for the boat to go from floating to blocked.
Its on dry land the entire time and can be replaced in the water at any
time. Your truck can be a few steps away electric and water is often
included. Why do people always try to reinvent the wheel??

Because lots of places that boats cruise do not have travel lifts, etc.
Drakes Bay here in Northern California is where Sir Francis Drake
careened his ship to repair the bottom. So every 6 hours they dealt with
the water and tides. Unless they built a coffer dam around the boat.


The original post reference an in water repair instead of hauling. It is
unlikely that he expects to cruise the coast of California to a secluded
bay with his coffer in tow just in case a repair is needed. And as to Sir
Francis Drake did he have the choice to travel to a marina with a travel
left? He lived from 1540 to 1596 moron. He landed in the bay in 1579

You call me a moron? No where did we talk about Drake having a travel lift
available! We talked about in water or beaching a boat to repair it. Drake
did just that. And you do not bring a coffer dam with you, you build it.
With lots of shovel work in 1579.
