Yes, thered is, John. But the Marina[s] around the lake don't have the
best security policies. Basicly you park it "over there" tarp it and there it sits, with no security fence or any type of guardianship. But you do get to rent the space off them! ? ![]() Besides, the boat does have a really good cover, but leaving it outside even under tarp just seems to invite mould, and moisture doesn't do the bright or woodwork any favors. Granted this isn't a new boat, but I'd like to keep it , especially the floor, from deteriorating from leaving it sit damp and in an oven like codition. That's why I trailer it back and stuff it in my warehouse. Even with wear and tear on the old wagon, I figure it's better for the boat in the long run. I could be wrong though. |

Probably the best idea if security is a problem. I didn't realize you had a covered area in which to keep it. That makes a hell of a difference. Mine has been in covered storage since new, and it still looks nice and shiny. |

Back on track for a moment.
now it looks like I need to shop for a Bimini top. An all day outing baking in the hot sun isn't an idea of family fun..... Tim wrote: Yes, thered is, John.

Aluminum frames. They include all the hardware. It is a 2 man installation but fairly easy. |
