I just heard that 2 to 3 boats at South Jersey Marina flipped over ….. do to the heavy snow on the bow’s…… 2.5 to 3 foot of Snow ……:huh:

Anybody know anything about those boats ?

Have a good buddy that lives close by. Just sent him over to check on it. He doesn't have anything else to do right now.

If you think the pics of those boats were bad... I was working on a commercial boat at the Lobster House yesterday, and the amount of ice and snow high up on those was insane. Good thing those boats are made for heavy weight.

I was afraid this would happen. Lots of boats I saw over the weekend were in a heavy list do to snow loads. We shoveled off my rig and raised the waterline 6". We have no power so the block heaters are off so I had to winterize. I also had to change a 3/4'' valve on the fly with 32- water poring in after the Genset feed valve broke. I have done this before in the summer that was scarey enough. It was a real treat doing it in the dark with a flashlite in my mouth lying between the Genset and the port tranny.

Luckily, my boat is high and dry on a cradle. I went there today and it was full of snow. Shoveled off all the stuff I could, and the base layer was 2 to 4 inches of SOLID ice. Should be a real beauty by Thursday.
