Deep Purple 511 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I didn't check the landing, don't think they could take me. I think they have a 50' limit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 TheLanding advertises up to 80 foot but depth will be limiting factor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin McCready 83 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 But how many are up in the islands now for the winter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Or weiti you'd fit wouldn't you? He only just fits in the river, he's never going to fit on the hard stand, not to mention making a cradle big enough. Imagine trying to turn BP around with the tractor. You'd need a couple of lamp posts to extend the draw bar... Still, it would be interesting to price lifting out with a crane. Wouldn't be a small crane, and you'd need most of the hardstand clear. Better idea though would be a boat haulage trailer. Avoids all of the issues of the tractor and cradle.Just need to find somewhere long enough to park it. (or he could sell another house and pay for a travel lift at a commercial yard) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myjane 40 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Kevin , the boats I see missing I don't think would be in the islands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 During the gfc it was notable the number of boats that were taken out of the water and stored elsewhere. Maybe our economy isn't in such good shape? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 511 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 No it's not, our growth is barely above the level of immigration 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
