Man...seeing all the sweet docks/lifts/shops and garages really makes me miss my boat even more! Typically I'll winterize it in November, then won't see it again until April/May. Retirement plans include a house on the lake with a lift AND a shop on site for winter storage.

Just shrink wrapped it! 1st time leaving it in yard but high dry has no able workers crooked boss with a ego problem
Time to buy a trailer after 50 years of boating only 2 miles to bay! Gonna call BBB and start a law suit with marina if they continue to contact us ! Because bottom looks like a airport run way from marina fork truck !Cost us 2 seasons almost because under staffed marina! Got it out of there to use it every time you wanted to launch it they had dumb excuses? My point buy a trailer or pay to launce it still cheaper! Over & out!

Some people do that to keep the weight off the tires during the winter or storage time. Helps prevent flat spotting and can extend the life of the tires. I used to do the same thing with my show car years ago during the winter months.

My version is let some air out of the tires and jack each one up and slightly rotate a few times during the winter.
