I'm curious.... How far do some of you travel to get to your boat for a ride? Is your boat docked right in front of your home? Do your trailer everytime you use it? If so how far away is the ramp or marina where you start from your home?

Seems to me the bigger the boat the better it is not to have to trailer it everytime you use it.... Your Thoughts?

Mine is on a trailer in the backyard, ramp is 10 minutes away in Chesapeake City or 10 minutes to Delware City

Trailer. It depends on where I go, and which boat I'm taking. It's 1.5 miles to the St John's River, and 20 miles to Daytona. However, we drove 140 miles last weekend to the Suwannee River.

Keep both boats at the Marina. 20 minutes from home.
Pull the Formula once a month to clean the bottom.
Doesn`t get that dirty.
Mothership has bottom paint.

 

[Rock Steady]

On the trailer at my parents house ~20 minutes away

 

[Civil On Rest]

On the trailer, .5 miles from the house and 9 miles from the ramp to get salty. Otherwise 330 miles to Havasu :unhappy1:

This has to be up there....Just about 5 1/2 hours from Hartford CT, to the 1000 Islands. Boat is kept on a lift at my family's place right outside of Morristown, NY (NY side across from Brockville). Made the trip every weekend from Beginning of June to the end of July. At first it was tough but you get used to it. Oil Company's and EZ-pass love me Monday mornings can be tough, especially when it is nice and you don't get off the water till 7 Sunday night! :dead:

my back yard -you can't beat it. Very convenient

Mine sits in the garage next to the house. But the launch is 1.5 hours away. :unhappy1:

 

[Dd24SKATER]

Mine sits on the trailer at the "Lake House" its 78 miles away

Its usually attached to the jeep

[3wood]

Mine sits in my driveway. 20 Minutes from where I launch on Lake erie.

 

[Andretti 502]

My regular marina is about 15 minutes away. I have a covered shelter for my boat there, which comes in handy on those late nights coming off the lake and I don't think I should be towing home. But I usually trailer it. I like to keep an eye on it in my yard.

 

[Mudball]

Mines about 600 feet away from the house!

 

[lucky strike]

Boat is on a lift in the backyard. The ramp is 10 blocks away when we have to take it out. Pretty convenient all around.

 

[OldMagicfloat]

April-June - About 1 hr to Rend Lake
July-Sept - 15 min to the River.

 

[slapshot]

About 40 Minutes away. I keep it on the rack. Alot easier than towing it every time I want to use it. Also, after a long week-end on the boat, I don't have to dread pulling it out. Just tie off at the dock, and they pull the boat out. Never sits in the water for very long.

 

[slapshot]

Easy to clean. Just call up and they put it on the work rack.

 

[DonMan]

I keep my boat in my shop, 7 miles from my house. I trailer to Lake Texoma each Friday night, 1:45 drive. Trailer home Sunday evening, another 1:45 drive.

 

[Not Right]

15-20 Minutes to the Rack, in my backyard the rest of the year

 

[DonziGirl]

3.5 hours to Erie.

Do I get a prize for the longest drive?

The reason is that we get kind of bored with the Ohio river after awhile and the closest "major" lakes to Cincinnati are Cumberland and Erie. They are both the same distance away.
