Regarding boats that are kept in the water year around or are too large to
easily transport, what do the boat owners do when a hurricane is forecast
to
hit the area? What if they do not live near the boat, i.e., out of state?

Just curious.

Tie it down to the lift really well, get the lift as high as I can and worry
a lot.

Even if you have a trailer towing a boat in hurricane evacuation traffic
would be trying, to say the least.

Written 1/2 mile in from the Atlantic in Central Florida. Also lived in
Broward County in South Florida during Andrew in 1992. Tied up the boat
good, put out anchors in the channel, taped all the hatches & vents and
wished it well. It was ok when we came home but the tide had been about 4
feet higher than a normal high tide. We were lucky to be about 60 miles
north of the eye.
