Default Why so few boating related posts?

I know the season is ending.

What do you do with your boat(s) over the winter if you are not in the
southern climes?

I store my old classic in a shed. My newer boat spends the winter on the
hard in a nearby boatyard, in a cradle the previous owner had built for
her. The cradle has an A-frame that can be erected to support a couple
of tarps.

The old boat has a simple inboard marine engine that's easy enough to
service. The newer boat has a pair of diesels that i have an outside
contractor service. I take the batteries home.


I have an 18 ft, and a 23 ft. They are in my warehouse and are tucked
away. The 30' Pontoon (barge) has had the furniture pulled and will
have to fend for itself out in the relentless cold cruel world!
