BillM Posted March 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I saw this over on LSMB, hoping no one here is affected. That's just insane how much $$$ is laying under all that scrap metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 If it's going to fail due to issues it's likely to happen early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Been a bad winter for that, with numerous marinas suffering the same fate. Temagami Marine lost 1/2 of a storage section 2 weeks back affecting about 24 boats. Bad Winter for snow load with temperature cycles locking the snow to steel roofs vs the usual shedding process. Even here the snow NEVER fell off my hangar or shop roofs 5/12 and 3/12 pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Gonna be lots of great used parts for sale.... Isn't that the Marina right in Rosseau by the beach?? We boat up there and spend the day. A short walk up the hill takes you to a great chip truck that's been there for years. The General Store is great too.

I have had a couple of friends lose boats stored at marinas, and I doubt if things are much different up there than here, keep your own insurance coverage on your boat all year! An ice jam on a river let go and washed away 40-60 boats store on cradles years ago, they hit the iron breakwall and sank, lot of stories in our papers here about it, people not carrying their insurance over the winter to save a few bucks. Another had his in a rack storage and a fire melted a bunch of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I wouldn't depend on a storage facility to make good on an insurance claim. Always carry your own insurance. I am surprised at how many guys I know out here on Erie that don't insure their boats. I think they are nuts myself. Liability at the least. Buddy has a boat bone yard just west of Dunnville on Rainham Rd. I drove by yesterday and his 2 acre property is jammed packed. And I know his building is packed with every boat part he gets his hands on. PM me and I will hook you up if you are looking for a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camillj Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Wow ... I'm close by (at Minett) ... used to wonder whether it was worth the extra few bucks storing inside (heated) which i did the first few years vs shrink wrap outside ... feeling little better about about my choice now ... guessing the insurance rates may go up this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camillj Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 True ... they clean her up and "spring-ize" it before she goes in the water so I suppose I wouldn't know (what the eye doesnt see - the heart doesnt feel ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lape0019 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I’ve discussed this with a marina up here. They have insurance to cover their own in-stock boats but they do not carry insurance for people storing their boats at the shop. They make that very clear.

So far so good, 11 years. Edited April 4, 2019 by Old Ironmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
