The great thing about putting wheels under your boat—whether power or
sail—is that you no longer have to leave it in one particular body of water.
Trailering your boat gives you access to lakes, rivers, and bays across the state
and across the nation—you can even change oceans if you like!
Another plus is that you don’t have to pay those monthly dock rental fees. You
don’t have to worry about little creepy-crawlies clamping themselves to the
bottom of your boat or boring through the hull as it sits week after week
afloat. And when it storms, you know your boat is not going to sink because
it’s sitting in your garage, as snug as the family cat.
