Hurricanne query
I have a one year old 16' pontoon boat that will stay in the lift through the storm if it hits Orlando.... My old Searay did just fine there duing IRMA...
Pontoon boats do not have a bilge or drain plug and won't fill with water but I am wondering aboutt he wisdom of leaving the "playpen" cover on through the storm or just leaving the boat open. I'm afraid the snap on cover must just become airborne and lost.... The boat is as high in the boathouse as I can get it. Any advice from you boater types is appreciated. My pier surviving Irman in the video, the neighbot's pier ? Not so much. |

I leave the Bimini on because I crank the boat up all the way up to the ceiling. But if I had a playpen cover I would definitely take it down.

Wouldn’t it be wise to pull the boat out of the water?
I left my boat on the water during hurricane Opal and regretted it. (In my defense I thought I had another day but the storm blew up and we had to run) |

There’s a lot of agreement here from me.
We did the “beaches, bars, boats, and ballads” thing for 30 years. As much as I loved the beach and boating and the whole lifestyle, I always had a desire to live in rural America ever since I was a kid. So contrary to the typical norm, I’ve left the coast and will retire (kinda sorta) to the country. I spoke with 3 friends this weekend who are consumed with securing their boats and homes on the coast. BTDT and have no desire to be a part of it anymore. |
