do you live close to where your boat is?

Thirty odd years ago, I lived very close to my boat. Coming home and seeing my boat out the back was always nice and the convenience couldn’t be beat. Since then, I’ve used marinas but never more than 10 minutes drive from home.

In summer my boat is inside 100 miles away, but only 1/4 mile from our summer camp, which is about 2 miles from the ramp
Winter my boat is 10' below my feet in my basement, love having it so close to tinker all winter

Hard to beat that convenience! One question I’ve never asked about a basement garage like yours is does any fuel/oil/rubber or other smells make it’s way to the rest of the house? My wife’s nose rivals that of a hound dog

Boat is in storage about a mile from the ramp 30 mins or so from the house. It helps when going to the lake out here. They will pull people over for minor trailer issues to check for DUI around here if you are pulling a boat into town. I drink NA beers while on the boat to be safe so it doesn't bother me, but keeps from dealing with the hassle.
