Mike down at BP will do the job for you at about $12 a foot, and you can
store over the winter there for about $150, until April, I believe. Then
the usual storage fees start again. Tri-State gets about $13.50 a foot.

Basically, for center consoles, the wrapper runs a web strap from the
bow to the stern to create a vee under the wrap so water runs off onto
the ground. The boat is wrapped, along with the engine, and an vent
usually is left at the transom. The wrapping keeps all the winter crap
out of your boat so when you remove the wrap in the spring, the boat is
as clean as you left it. Keeps the UV out, too.

Some guys can reuse the wrap for an additional season.

Thanks, Harry. The marina I bought from will store the boat in their locked
yard for the winter at no cost. They want $13 a foot to shrink wrap, which
is a hell of a lot cheaper than boatel storage. Plus, the dealer will put
the trailer up on blocks once it's shrink wrapped. I didn't know if
condensation was a big problem or not.


Take the upholstered cushions and batteries home with you.

That's where those little vents, that are taped into place, do their magic.
The boat dealers in this area have their yards full of shrink wrapped boats.

Nothing more to add to Harry's comments except to say that you need to
make sure the tent is properly vented at the TOP of the tent. Some
install the vents at the bottom because it's easier and they don't
have to climb a ladder.

As to condensation and mold, venting should take care of that, but be
sure to remove any cushions, open all the hatches and make sure they
stay that way, don't vent your gas cap - as in loosen it. Battery
removal is your personal choice - I don't remove my batteries, but I
disconnect them and put them on a monitored trickle charge system over
winter. Usually in the Spring, I have to top off with a little
distilled water, but nothing major.

If you are really concerned about mold, go to West and get one of
those mold bag dealies.

BTW, if the dealer has not run your new engine, it might not have oil in
it. Typically the motors are shipped, even when mounted on boats, sans
oil. Keep that in mind for the spring.

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

Support the trailer by the frame, so you take the load off of the
springs as well as the tires. They will last a lot longer. putting the
trailer on blocks also prevents the tires from being buried to the
rims during spring thaw when the ground is soaked and soft.- Hide quoted text -

The only other thing to consider is if your hull has been painted

It's mildly funny when Shortpants Tom says this, but when a boating

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?

It's mildly funny when Shortpants Tom says this, but when a boating

Harry,
This was not suppossed to set you off, it was a little joke, since you
seem to like the same joke made by SWS, Eisboch, and numerous others, I
didn't think it was **** you off.

I do have to tell you I really don't have any imaginary boating
experience, all of my are real.

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.

That's not really true - Elton John's real name is Reginald Dwight I
believe.

Come of thing of it, you may have a point. :)

A long time ago, I wrote a short sci-fi story and used the Myron
Fredrick as my "pen" name. One of the editors that my Dad knew looked
through it, pronounced it acceptable, but a name change was necessary.

I asked why and he said that nobody was named Myron. When I said that
Myron, Fred and Rick were the first names of my best friends, he asked
what's Myron's nickname?

Doug I replied. :)

Reginald Mantle III, in case you are into comic book trivia.

I understand your mom named you Sal****er Tom because she found you as a

Yes, they are just as real as HK, SWS, JimH, Eisboch or any others.


Everyone knows my real name, just as they know Tom's real name and just
about everyone else's real name here. The one posters who work so hard
at remaining anonymous are the a**holes like you.

I think Reggie's real name is Reginald. He just wants everyone to *think*
that's not his real name. Hell, if you were named Reginald, wouldn't you do
the same?

I'd rather be named 'Sue' than 'Reginald'!


No one is named "reginald" except that character in the "archie" comic
strip.

Did you notice his marina puts the trailer on blocks? 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.
With all those other boats, why would someone mess with a LTP?

;)


It's mildly funny when Shortpants Tom says this, but when a
boating numnutz like you does, it just makes you look dumber
than usual. Your comments, after all, are based on what? Your
imaginary trips across the dangerous waters of Lake Lanier?

Harry,
This was not suppossed to set you off, it was a little joke,
since you seem to like the same joke made by SWS, Eisboch, and
numerous others, I didn't think it was **** you off.

I do have to tell you I really don't have any imaginary boating
experience, all of my are real.

Sure, Reggie. Just like all your 50 IDs here are real.

Harry,
JohnH might be right, but the thing is, you don't believe anything I
say, so why would you believe me if I told you what my name is? You
don't believe me when I mention my boat, my wife or my 3 kids in
passing. I am not sure if you believe I have two dogs, but I do. Oh,
I also had a mother and father.


That's correct: I don't believe much of anything you post. I do,
however, believe you have a dog.

Make that 2 dogs, but you can now understand why it is silly to answer
any of your questions about my personal life.

That's not really true - Elton John's real name is Reginald Dwight I
believe.

Come of thing of it, you may have a point. :)

A long time ago, I wrote a short sci-fi story and used the Myron
Fredrick as my "pen" name. One of the editors that my Dad knew looked
through it, pronounced it acceptable, but a name change was necessary.

I asked why and he said that nobody was named Myron. When I said that
Myron, Fred and Rick were the first names of my best friends, he asked
what's Myron's nickname?

Doug I replied. :)

D'Oh!!!

Reginald Mantle III, in case you are into comic book trivia.

I understand your mom named you Sal****er Tom because she found you as a
babe floating in a wicker basket among the cattails along Long Island
Sound. Is that true? :}

Yep.
