And you will save some gas on your tow vehicle because you are not towing. I am doing it on my vacation.

Yeah I know there are options like that available, and if the truth be told I have family members that have places in the area where I could drop the boat if need be.
I should mention and maybe some will relate, others may not, I am very very (did I say very?) particular about my boat and my stuff in general. I never leave the boat outside period even though I have full covers for it. Well OK I'll admit to having left it outside a couple of times but put a tarp over the whole thing so it wouldn't get dirty and it was only for one night at a time, two or more is out of the question!
OK so my wife says I'm way to anal stuff and I'll not deny the fact some may think I go over the top when I wax my lawn tractor or detail my portable generator, but it's just my nature. I've even wax my tool boxes.
All this stuff is expensive and a serious investment so I go over the top to keep them in as new condition best I can. Maybe I need professional help...?
