Moving to Fort Lauderdale
Hey guys. I may be taking a new job in Fort Lauderdale and moving from Atlanta. Raises a few questions ...
I have a 32' sunsation and all my boating has been fresh water on Lake Lanier in Atlanta. It's been awhile since I've been boating in salt water. What are the normal maintenance recommendations for the boat? Engines - 496HOs?
And for anyone in Fort Lauderdale ... recommendation on where to store it? Local hang outs?
Thanks!
JP

Flush it well, and use a corrosion block on certain parts. Where in lauderdale? I prefer Palm beach and Miami for keeping the boat, less idle zones. We have a few decent rack storage places right near Boynton inlet, or if you want to trailer(which I would suggest for a newbie so you can see tha whole area), there are several lots.

Good feedback, thanks! I expect I'll be living downtown near the courthouse. My brother is in the exchange lofts and ill likely end up in the same building or somewhere close.
Interesting thought on trailering ... But I'm not going to have a place to store it since I'll be in a condo...

Thanks guys!
Cash Bar ... It's only a 1-2 yr move, so looking to rent. My brother lives in the Exchange Lofts apartments which seem really nice and reasonable, so that's my default to start. Familiar with those? If it changes, ill definitely let you know! I'll take you up on the storage recommendations!
I should know definitely by mid November.
