If you don't have a trailer how do you do any maintenance to your boat? I have moored my boats plenty but I think I'll still pay the $55 a year so I can do the monthly stuff that needs doing on a moored boat. Personally I would never have a boat and not have a trailer
So if you own a boat, I’d assume you have a trailer to go along with it. I’m kinda sorta always looking to upgrade boats and am pretty surprised how many boats don’t have trailers. Where do they go? Is it really not worth owning a trailer if your boat is moored up at a marina?
well that is a good point....having never lived in an actual city I guess I don't have any perspective. how much does a haul out run you guys?Not everybody has that luxury of time/space/equipment. Maintenance is easy: pay the haul out fee and do the work yourself or pay the yard to do it for you. You're also assuming that everybody has a truck to pull the trailer.
Most trailers sold with boats are under the weight limit after a few accessories and a six pack of beer is added. Way better to buy a brand new disc brake trailer then pay a premium for two vehicles that need work because a used boat definitely does!I’m not needing a trailer. I personally just find it odd that a boat would sell and not have a trailer. Sometimes you find what you think is a pretty good deal on a boat And then at the bottom it says No Trailers.
I just love to be able to whip down to the boat for a 2-3 hr stint @ tide change then get home for lawn cutting followed by happy hourI've just moved our 26 Hourston from a dry storage deal on our trailer to an enclosed shed. I'm fine with extra maintenance below the waterline for the convenience of being able to jump in and go year round. Plus its spotless above the waterline...a haul out at lgm is like $150 each way and around 35 bucks a day so average 400 to 500 each haul out twice a year at a minimum. Right now our trailer is in the driveway but no way I would think about selling it off, way more convenient to have one than not, in my case. Just have to find somewhere to stash it in the lower mainland so my wife doesn't come flying into the driveway and stuff it through the garage!
It's called retirement, Amigo!Well played Aces ...well played
