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.

With all those other boats, why would someone mess with a LTP?

Maybe a low life?

Getting back to the original post, why would a boat yard care if your
trailer was placed on blocks? He doesn't have to worry about the tire
getting a flat spot or the sidewalls ruined by the tires getting low on
pressure. Just because a marina doesn't do block the trailer, doesn't
mean it isn't a good idea. After all, my father, tire manufacturers and
trailer manufacturers all recommend it.
