2010 Fall / Winter Update


Hello, fellow boaters. I hope the start of the fall season finds you in good health and you have had a great summer of boating. This summer was by far the best weather we have had in a long time but unfortunately all good things must come to an end! Boat sales remained very strong this year and we can thank the weather for that.


The only increases we will have this year is for power washing due to the new DEP guidelines and the new rules that have us filtering all of the bottom wash. Shrink wrap will be up slightly due to the increases the manufacturer has passed on. Both rates are up only $1-2/foot. We strive to keep all of the expenses as low as possible and put a lot of pressure on our suppliers to keep the costs down.

 We anticipate another busy winter and plan on starting a dredge and bulkhead for D-dock late this fall. We expect the Army Corps of Engineers will undergo the big dredge in the Royal River within the next 2-3 years so I want to stay ahead of that with a smaller detailed dredge. In addition to the dredge, we will be installing a catch basin for all power washing of painted bottoms.

Mark your calendar for the YBY Open House to be held on October 1st from 5-7:00 pm.
