I'm in S. Florida and they tell us specifically NOT to do that. Even if you
*could* get 1000 gallons of water in your boat if you are close enough to the
storm it won't make any difference aside from adding to the weight of the
tumbling mess. You might also want to consider what damage that would cause to
anything inside the boat you can't remove as well as the added weight on the
trailer. Take another look at the small areas the boat actually rests on the
trailer and think about what another 3,000 to 6,000 pounds will do.

Another common myth is that you should throw all of your lawn furniture into
your (inground) pool. Evidently a storm like that will pull the furniture out
and still send it flying.

We hear it every year at the beginning of the "season".

Good luck,
Dan
