Owning your own boat can bring months of enjoyment from spring to fall, but when winter comes, it’s time to put your boat in the garage or in storage for the season, waiting for the next beautiful day to get out on the water. In the meantime, though, why not take advantage of the time spent indoors by taking your boat in for maintenance, repairs, and remodeling? Rather than running into any problems next spring when you start it up again or bringing your boat in mid-spring for a remodeling project that could have been completed before, why not use the time when you can’t be on your boat to make any adjustments you could want or need this year? At Anchor Marine Repair, we work year-round, providing winter boat overhauls for boat owners all over Minnesota from our Delano, MN boat repair shop. Read Full Post
