Had we left our last boat in the slip during Sandy we'd probably still have that boat.

One of my friends left his in our Marina and was fine other then a little fiberglass and rub rail damage.
If you do decide to pull your boat, make sure you store it up on high ground or your better off leaving it in the water.
If I had a trailor for my boat and a truck capable of towing it, I'd probably pull it just to be on the safe side.

its just such a hassle in point, there is no close ramp. I need a ride from ramp to boat or ride my bike 5 miles and then navigate the boat down the river to the manasquan river club.
