AKA Lake Martin. I am sure that you will have many years of enjoyment to come. It can take newbies years to explore all that the lake has to offer. It is tough to do it all in one season. Is your place in Manoy Creek? If so we are neighbors.

Now about those options, since it is a pontoon boat you have the option of renting a jack up trailer twice a year to haul it in and out, and store wherever you choose. The cheapest option obviously is if you have the space on your property is to just have it set down there and then cover it up for the winter. Also the aluminim covers you see everywhere make excellent storage for boats, but with a 24' boat you will have to 'special order' one long enough to cover the entire boat. It will cost more than the 'standard' $595 you see them for everyshere, but still a pretty good buy. Also, I don't recomend it, but many folks just let the water go away and leave the pontoon boat in the lake bed all winter till the water comes back. Others build a rack for the boat to sit on in the lake bed in the winter.

One thing too is that if you are in Manoy Creek we are blessed with an excellent ramp at DARE Park and at Madwind Creek. Which is best for you will depend on what part of the creek you are in. If you are off of Genie Martin Rd. then The Madwind Creek ramp is closer by vehicle.

PS-- Summer Lovers disclaimer from above applies here too...lol.
