Who doesn't love boating?
Are you a boat owner? Have you ever thought about purchasing a boat? In our boat hauling mistakes post, we talked about how over 15.8 million recreational boats were reported in use just in 2016 alone. I can only imagine that number has increased over the years—and especially in 2020. Our boat transportation serviceshave doubled—if not tripled—during all of the lockdowns due to covid. It seems as if many Americans went out and purchased new boats, jet skis, and many more fun filled items!

Protecting Your Boat During Transport
A frequent question we get asked is, "How can we protect our vessel?" Most people think putting a cover on their boat will help keep it safe from rocks, road debris, salt, etc. However, the only layer of protection that should be on the boat is shrink wrap (see photo below). Any canvas or covering should be removed before transport. Although not all marinas offer this service, there are mobile shrink-wrapping services available nationwide. If you are unable to locate a company to do this in your area, you can simply have the boat moved to a full-service marina that will.
