Boat preparation for hurricane?
 

I stack my boat. During storms/hurricanes, the marina takes the boats off the higher racks and stacks them on the first 2 rows (basically the first two stories) My boat ended up on a yard rack so the keel is about 4 feet off the ground. The plug is out.

What else can I do other than the proverbial bend over and kiss my own azz and hope for the best?

In the future, what else can be done so I can be ahead of the game? I never think about this till its the final hour.

Put the plug in and tie it where it is. Don't leave the plug out.

seems odd they move boats that are inside, what wind speed is the building rated for?

here boats in dry stack stay in their spot, if you want to put it on a trailer and run north you can. for boats in the water at a predetermined wind speed, and I'm not sure what wind speed they use, the boats have to be moved out of the marina.
the dry-stack building here is rated for 140 mph wind

cockpit cover off
probably to late now but can you get it shrink wrapped

They do boats to 30 feet inside. I think most places are up to 30 feet inside in Florida. Everything over 30 feet goes outside.

With this much rain I am afraid the bilge pumps will kill the batteries after 3-4 hours.


See what I mean, I'm dammed if I do and dammed if I dont. I just dont know which has more probability.

Plug out and flooding it wil surely sink. I guess it depends on cover. I have a cockpit cover but also a full cover that can be strapped on. I'd have my plug in and the cover strapped in multiple places. I'd take my chances with it floating over flooding. Lol. Tough call.

I would have it shrink raped if there are people down there that do it. More aerodynamic and sealed tighter than your morning cover

Don't forget to pray like a muthfker ! Hope everything works out for you.

Change this ^^^^^

I'm in NH and started putting a game plan together for the boats and docks I take care of as soon as they said the hurricane would turn and head up the east coast. That was Monday ? Not that I could save everything if we got hit, but I'm someone who freaks (and geeks) about the weather.

Move it inland, somewhere near Idaho. Sorry was just joking around. You may want to house it in a marina building on a rack. Their buildings are suppose to be rated at 125 MPH or better wind speeds.
