Every year, thousands and thousands of travellers from all over Canada and the United States come to the Lake of the Woods area, to enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery -- and fantastic fishing -- that North America has to offer. Many of them come back every year, to spend their summer in our little corner of paradise -- and bring their boats with them.
Our repair shop is kept busy all summer long with work to be done on boats from other parts of Canada and the U.S. -- and in many cases, these repairs are performed before the boat has even been into the water.
Why? Travel damage.
90% of people who have towed a boat any significant distance have had a problem on the road -- either with their boat, or with their trailer. Some of the most common problems can be blamed on:
- boat bouncing on the trailer during travel
- carbeurator damage from shock and motor being up in transit
- spring and wheel bearing failure on trailers
- needles and seats sticking from motor lubrication drying out
- lower unit seals drying out from prop rotation in the wind
- built-up varnish in carbeurators breaking off from vibration
- overloaded trailers
- boat hull damage from flying rocks and road debris
Not only can you do damage to your investment, you also do cause more trailer wear and tear, burn more fuel hauling your boat, and it's harder on your vehicle.
Our solution to the hassles of boat, motor and trailer repairs is simple -- store your boat with us! We have a fully-secured, bonded storage facility, with ample capacity for any size boat and trailer. We make sure that your boat is properly winterized, and we can do any needed repairs or restoration work to your equipment through the winter -- why waste precious summer boating weather working on your boat? As well, most people who care for their boats have to pay for storage in the winter months anyways -- why not store it near where you're going to use it?
Rates on monthly storage start at a reasonable $30 CDN. If you're interested in storing your boat with us for the winter, give us a call at (807) 484-2134, and we'll arrange everything!
