18' McVay Minuet, draws about 3 feet.
I keep it moored just a short walk from my house. Having a boom truck haul it out is $150, and then you have to either move it by flatbed or store it at the marina.
Or, you can contraptioneer something.
First, you take the utility trailer you bought 8 years ago for $100 and wouldn't pass inspection this year.
Then, you take an angle grinder. OK, two angle grinders, cuz you killed the first one.
Then you go to the marina and fetch your wooden cradle
Then you take whatever scrap metal you have and conjur/weld up a simple frame for the cradle to sit on.
The milk crates each hold 2 44lb bags of traction sand, because that trailer is gonna want to float. Ask me how I know (attempt #1). 2x4s and decking to build a 30 foot tongue extension, which you ratchet strap on.
Then, one guy drives the truck, and two guys go swimming
And then you pull the whole thing in
You remove the extension/ bags of grit. Don't forget to chock the trailer wheels (ask me how I know)
and voila, you're done!
Easy peasy!
More milk crates, more bags of dirt, and another 14 foot extension next year... might not even have to go swimming!
