Marina Boat Removal in Washington, DC

Potomac marinas run out of patience the same way any marina does. This Monterey had been sitting unused for a couple of seasons after the outboard started stalling out on every trip, and rather than sink money into repairs the owner just let the slip fees keep running. A letter finally came from the marina office warning that the account was too far behind to ignore. That's when we got the call. The tight part of this job was the current itself, tidal pull along that stretch of river meant we had to time our approach around slack water just to keep the boat steady while we rigged it for the haul. Once we had lines set, the pull off the dock went smooth. The cuddy cabin's fiberglass hull still had enough structure to interest a recycler that handles mid-size hulls, so that's where it went. Slip's open again for the next season.
