hi, i just got a 12ft aluminum vhull boatits brand new i looking forward to taking it out this spring to fish off of.it is on its side leaning against the fence and i just wanted to know if any damage could be done to it over the winter? also, we are going to keep it down my the bank and i dont know if i should leave it in the water tied to a tree or just drag it up the bank onto the grasscould dragging it up the mud/dirt bank and launching it down the bank cause any damage to it? thanks
It should be ok aganst the fence but better turned upside down and off the groundAluminum is a soft metalIts going to get scratched and dented no matter how well you take care of itIf its sand it will scuff it up but shouldnt cause any structule damageIf its rocky theres going to be deeper sratches each time you launch your boatIf this is a private lake leave it in the waterIf its a river or public place remove it and definitly lock it up especially if it has an out board or trolling motorIt will get stollen.
