Well, the marina is ready to replace the dock my slip is on with a new one. Not only is it time to get rid of the old one, they are under a mandate to get rid of the old foam flotation with new, encapsulated flotation. So, we've been asked to relocate the boat for a month or so while they perform the work.

They offered one of their "courtesy" slips, which is located right at the ramp. I don't like that as it gets all the traffic, and exposes me to some yahoo hitting the boat or motor while maneuvering on/off their trailer.

So, my dilemma is whether to ask if he'll put it in an empty slot in dry storage or just pull it and store it on the trailer. Specifically, has anyone used dry storage and have you had issues with boat damage?

By dry storage I assume you mean in a rack, loaded and unloaded by

fork lift?

I stored my old runabout that way in Connecticut for several years

with no problems. A lot depends on the skill of the forklift

operator of course.

Yep, on a rack, in a building. The skill is what I'm worried about. A 25' pontoon is a big, chunky thing to maneuver into a rack.

Skill or just a lack of give-a-****!
