Take the drain plug out. It will stay on the craddle. Mine did when that happened.

Will ride it out at the marina if she heads a little east or go for a ride upstate if were going to get slammed.

Good luck to everyone, I hope the storm goes east and sends us some nice water from the gulfstream

I already pulled mine and have it setting many miles inland. I am hoping for the best , but, it looks like we are gonna get slammed down here in the southern Outer Banks.

Thanks Ted. If everything gets wiped out, I think I may replace the boat with a Deli. That way I wouldn't have time to think about fishing again !!

Two winters ago when we had that big NE blow a local marina lost about 6-8 boats that floated off of the blocking with the plugs out.... I don't want to take that chance.

Mine is on supports plug out at Clarks in Point about 20 yards from the upper parking lot, what are the chances it surges that high?
