I knew if my father did it, it might be overkill, but there was some engineering reason behind it. My dealer doesn't, and he stores hundreds of boats over the winter for customers. Mostly larger boats, too. I can think of a few reasons. The tires will develop flat spots over time. That happens with our vehicles in Florida over the summer while we're gone. It takes a few weeks of driving around before they go away. Another traditional reason is security. It is much more difficult to steal a trailer and boat if there are no wheels on the trailer. It's even harder if all the stored boats are locked up in an active fenced storage facility where no one is allowed to move boats except dealership employees, and there's a watchman. It's a huge facility, and the grounds outside the boatyard has a number of other high value clients. Oh, and there's a watchman service. This is not your average mom and pop boatstore operation. Yep - keep on thinking that. |
