I think you're right, Edd. When I was in Philly, we hauled out between October 1st and 15th, and splashed starting after tax day. I have friends from Maine who haul in September and splash for Memorial Day.
In North Carolina, we normally only haul every few years for a bottom job. A typical haul out deal is haul, pressure wash, block, store for 2 weeks, and launch for $x per foot. Longer term storage is month to month, with some boats stored because it is less than slip rent, and some stored for long term projects. The yard I use charges $7.50/ft for 1 2 week haul, and $6/ft for monthly storage. Now we do have a sort of a "Haul out season" here, but it is July to November. Lots of boats come north from the Caribbean and points on the East Coast in order to get above N36 degrees for hurricane season. I presume there is a market for Hurricane Season haul outs further south as well.

Here in New York City, winter storage runs from October to May. I would imagine in Florida it's probably more like December to February. And in Canada, it's probably something like August to June :-) All the best, Edd Edd M.

Does it depend solely on the facility that is offering the contract? What period would you say this statement covers: Fall of 2012 through Spring 2013 My calendars state that Fall starts Sept 21 or 22 every year and Spring ends June 21 or 22 every year. Is there a different Fall and Spring time for the Boating World? One facility with the statement above is telling me it is November through April (a 6 month period.) and Summer is the 6 months of May through October. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
