Let Me ask U Fellows a ?.I plugged the boat up then put Bou'Cou' water in it during a storm couple years ago.Then after the rains / hurricane i let the water out,Which seemed to take a month.Do You think the eXtera weight will really Help? Seems like a gust blows up Her skirt it doesn't matter how heavy She is its going.Just don't want to fill up the Restored version.She's chained down by the trailer in the rear (4ft of concrete & a logging chain. strapped to the trailer.I'll drop the tounge down low & on blocks.? is should I put water?

Hey Brad, if I were you and had the back well chained in the rear , I would still fill her with water particularly if you can get the bow down so that the most water weight is forward. Isabel last year I removed everything on top- also taped down all of my hatchesso the wind could not rip them up and off. All curtains, cushions off. Antennaes layed down then secured/tied down. Put my anchor over and left some scope on it. (Isabel was a P*ssy compared to what Frances is also. Even though you have her tied down to concrete blocks you can never have too many lines on the boat and the trailerand since you are in Homestead, I would tie her up on the west side of your house/property if possible and up tight to it. Not much more you can do- you are getting out right ???? Sure hope so-plenty welcome up here if you need somewhere to go. ~16 hr drive

Our prayers to all in the path of Frances. Please make good choices and be safe. The rest is all about insurance.

HA OTTO;
I hope my one boat theory doesn’t turn into a No Boat or No House theory. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
