Helping my bud decommission his 42' Bluewater for winter. 9th time now. Winterize two engines, generator, water heater, A/C, head, and a heavy custom cover. $5k/yr for the slip, travel hoist and blocks. Seven months months in the water. But he's popular in the summer with his big family.

.....makes me feel better about the $$ I put into my trailer- stored I/O runabout.
