at the end of that lane I'll put this garage tent

be able to squeeze in my camper, utility trailer, and even my John Deere
tractor. I know the boat is supposed to be about fun, but the urge to
protect an investment is primal. I probably should've done all this before
buying the boat, but I thought I'd still be looking at this point.

Isn't that thing going to fly away in a high wind?

The brocure says Anchor included. So if it blows away he can kedge
back.

Green or Gray...that is the question.

Joe - I'm a fan of the gray!

Katy - I chose the round top because I've had them before - 11 years
and many high winds and heavy snows later it was still as taught and
sturdy as day one. They're a good product provided they are installed
correctly. The anchors (screws) were a bear to twist in, but well worth
the effort. The dupont material is very tough!

2 feet of snow that turns to ice and then has a 45 mph wind blow under
it....nothing like that would survive a typical MI winter...

Maybe, maybe not... those materials are tougher than you
think. But anyway, we aren't in Kansas any more... I mean
Michigan!

I've had 30+" of snow on mine. It held that much at least.

You see a lot of them in Montreal in the winter, we call them "Quebec
Garages", they get a **** load of snow.

Hey Nutsy,

Scout is sure setting up a great "Boat trailer Moorage"! Looks like he's
worked out his inland location pretty damn well.

His evening sail is a problem but I wouldn't bet against Scout.

How about that AC/Heat pump set-up!

SCOUT;; I'll be looking for Pictures Also.
