Who plans on bringing their boat down to Florida for the Winter?

One of these years.

I plan on leaving it there, if it ever gets out of the shop, but being in the area more, either central or se fl.

I just made arrangements today with Chino at Grove Harbour on the New River in FtLauderdale to keep the boat there for the winter.

Is that the one by Shirtail Charlies?

Never been there. I met Allen Lima, aka Chino, several years ago and he is a class act. So I figured Id try his Marina this time down. It was either his place or Hideaway and Grove is much closer to the Ft Lauderdale airport

hopefully be there in Fort Lauderdale

Are you sure of the location? Grove Harbour is in Coconut Grove (as in Miami) near the Miami River.

I always liked harbour towne in the dania cutoff. Close to the airport,inlet, new rivier, and plenty of marine shops for service.

Anyone needs trailer storage....
