Here I am , high and dry !
 

It's going to be 80+deg. here this weekend . The dry stack marina in which *store my boat hass issued some very bad news. All of the cement pavement *around the dry stacks has to be removed and replaced . This was begun about a month ago and it's going to be about another 60 days before the job is set up and complete. I'm still paying out the nose for rent and can't even get my boat off of the shelf . *I may just go down there and climb up on the boat look at my new motor , listen to the radio , and STEW ! *Signed P/O'd in Wrightsville Beach ! !

Man that really sucks! That aint right, did they not let you know before they started?

Re: Here I am , high and dry !
 

BOY, that really blows a ROOT!!...guess it depends on if you wanna stay in that dry-stack or not...is there a signed agreement??...anything there about access to your boat?...they didn't forewarn of this construction?...How big an A$$hole do you WANT to be over it?... ???...

Oh , the story is even worse . I had my boat at another marina until Jan . I had been there for 5 years and was unhappy . The company running the marina was Marine Max . There main interest is selling Sea Rays to Guido . I would go down there and my boat was not put down , fork lift tied up doing yard work , inwater space tied up with new Sea Rays , and the last straw they took out the fish cleaning table . So it's time for me to move on . Boat slips wet or dry are very hard to come by . You wait years for a slip unless you know someone . I heard about a slip that was going to be open in Jan @ a much better marina . ( no sales just a first class marina ) So I sign a contract for the balance of another persons time that left early . I paid for Jan , Feb , and March with a full year due April 1 . My contract with the other marina was up Feb 1 . So I told them that I was not going to renew and they rented out my old slip . I moved into the new place about the end of Jan . About two week later I get a notice that the new marina has been inspected and all of the 40 year old cement around the dry stacks had failed and would have to be replaced . Aprox 6 week job . I have no where to go I gave up my old slip which is now gone and I could not get my boat out of there if I wanted to . And on top of all that , they are running way behind. >:(

labii, does your contract say anything about your access to your boat?

Re: Here I am , high and dry !
 

Yea plus they are going to have to store the boats off the rack obviously when they do the rebuild. Why can't you have them put it on a trailer for you or on blocks in the yard which they will have to do with the other boats anyhow

Re: Here I am , high and dry !
 

Doesn't sound like rebuilding the rack-shed...just demo and repour concrete apron around it... ::)...

Labii - That sucks!! You shouldn't have to pay anything if you can use your boat. 8 weeks to replace concrete seems like an awful long time.
