Boats/trailers in the Cape...

I heard the same stories before moving there. I took the risk and bought.
Although I was only there a short time, I had ZERO issues. The entire time there I had a 24' Sonic AND a 17' Hydrostream in my back yard. The yard was fenced but just w/link so you could clearly see both boats from our street and the one behind us.
Many of my neighbors had same.
A buddy, a mile north of me had 2 and 3 boats in his the entire (I think 2 yrs) time he lived there as did his neighbors. He even kept his in the side yard.
We were both in the S.W. so may have been specific to there but seemed like every other house had at least one. Drive around and look.
I'd think as bad as the Cape got hit in the crash, they'd be a bit lenient on people still living there and paying their taxes.
I'd think worst case you build a privacy fence and tell them to piss off.

If you put a 6ft fence around your property you will not have any issues. I have gates on both side of my house and have room for 3 boats that are behind the fence. been in this house for 7 years and no issues ever. Also I have had one of the boats in the driveway (working on it) for up to 10 days and new had an issue,

Looking for something newer and faster...... Not in a big hurry to sell. So if it does not sell I will wait for the warranties to run out and then start building these motors up.
