Hello folks...
I have to get some gelcoat repairs done, and I haven't been able to locate a glass guy to do work at my marina. They all want the boat out of the water and brought to them. I have a few positive recommendations for a guy in Bowleys Quarters (I'm in Maryland). My marina is a "high & dry" marina in Miller's Island, less than 20 minutes from the marina with the glass shop. My boat gets hauled out every night for free. I can't see dropping the boat in the water, driving it to another marina, and then paying them to haul it right back out.
Is there anyone close by that has a trailer set up for a 2005 260DA that would either rent, or loan their trailer to me for a few hours on 2 seperate days? We have a large GMC suburban all set up for towing, just no trailer. I have no need to own a trailer, so buying one for a few hours worth of use is out of the question.
My marina has a ramp, so switching the boats would be no problem. If necessary, I'll pay the ramp fees so that you could come down and launch for the day. We could switch the trailer to our vehicle, put our boat on it, and take it to the glass shop while you are out. Assuming that I could have the glass shop ready to take the boat off of the trailer that day, I could have the trailer back within a couple of hours ready for you at the end of your boating day.
Once the work was completed, I could pay ramp fees at that marina for a day, you could launch, and then we could use your trailer again to get our boat from the shop to the ramp. The trailer wouldn't even have to leave the marina.
So, at minimum, I am offering up 2 days worth of ramp fees. If necessary, we can talk beer... :grin:
Thank you,
Michael
