Default Re: Progress so far

Well I have kind of the same problem in tthe way I don't want to keep trailering it all around. And there is no slips or morins around. I have no problem with it in my yard but it takes like 1/2 to 40 min to tow to Falmouth.
Now a buddy of mine has a sweet deal and I am going to try to find someone in the Falmouth area to do the same thing with my boat.
What he has done is went to a boat yard near were he fishes and asked to leave the boat there on the trailer. He needs 24 hour acess to it. They said sure park it over there. And he pays then $50 per month. It is 1 mile to the ramp, 2 miles to were he sells the fish, 1mile to the gas station and 1/2 mile back to the yard. So it is like a 5 mile circle each time he takes the boat out. This is great because he lives some 70 miles from the ramp. He saves $50 + in gas towing!!
I have a coupkle of car dealer ships and a couple of boat places down were i go and I am going to make it a point to stop and ask about a smilar deal for my self.
You may be able to do the same?? Just make sure you can get the boat when you want!! Because there will be no one around at 5am when you want to get going.
Hope this helps you a little. Try a boat yard near your ramp. You never no unless you ask?
Let me no how you make out
