Here is a picture of my marina floating down the Allegheny River during the floods the day after Hurricane Ivan hit the Pittsburgh area. I found my boat 14 river miles away after it crossed the Emsworth Dam on the Ohio River.

I was checking to see if my old boat was in that picture. It made it almost all the way to Wheeling (over several locks & dams) before washing up on shore. Good to have insurance

What boat was yours? This is from the old Allegheny Marina in Pittsburgh. Mine is the blue 232cc in the picture. That marina used to be the Rinker dealer in town so there were a lot of Rinker's that went down that year.

None of those were mine - I was just checking. Mine was at Washington's Landing. The interesting part is I had just recently bought the boat and it included the rest of the season at Wasington's Landing, so I left it there, intending to bring it home at the end of the season. I had only taken it out twice. When it ended up down near Wheeling along some remote wooded shoreline, some guy saw it and checked the registration numbers on the side and reported it to the WV state police. They in turn reported it to the PA police who notified the prior owners since the transaction was so new the registration change had not yet been recorded by the Fish and Boat Commission. The prior owners got the joy of telling me that I had destroyed "their" boat...

The good news was it was just a little 10 year old 18 foot cuddie and insurance paid up fairly quickly for the total loss.

Cableguy's picture is shocking! How many boats survive something like that? I guess at least there's always new scenery.

Out of that group, about 7 survived. All but one of the 7 were runabouts. The cruisers got their arches and windshields taken off by a low railroad bridge that they all went under. I got lucky when a group of 3 ended up together. Mine was in the middle of the three and only had minor cosmetic damage.

That is a cool pic with the Pentagon in the background!

I am trying my best to figure out how to post a photo.  I have my images in photobucket and there are 4 types of  links there.  None seem to work.

Maybe this is all I need to do.

 

 

Unbelievable.  All I had to do was copy and paste.  That is the Salt Shaker off of the lift and at the dock.  The boat on the other lift is Anna's Wake.  Belongs to my admiral.  She has had it for about 11 years.  A 185 Scout.  It also is a fine boat.

 

This is Palmetto, FL just south of Tampa.

Hello All, I didn't post a picture but I have a link to the marina I will be at this summer. If you have heard of the 1000 Islands area - actually there are 1,800 islands - (St.Lawrence River that borders the U.S.A. and Canada) go to this website and have a look. The boating is superb (a thouisand miles with no locks), the fishing is beyond belief and the beers on both sides of the river are cold! www.thelandingativylea.com All the best! MT

JTKZ13,

   I don't know if I have ever seen a marina with every boat bow-in.  Is this a rule there?  I am used to people stern-in so there bow is hanging out in the air, longer than their dock.  Just curious.

OldDogNewTrix

And how do they all board their boats?

JoeStang

Its not a rule, but due to low water levels its pretty much mandatory. I'm sure it would be possible to back in for quite a few people, but probably not worth churning up the bottom.

My dock is 30' from the seawall and my LOA is 29', so my swim platform sticks out almost 2' past the end. I have just enough space to step from the corner of the dock to the swim platform so I dont have to walk on cushions.

All of the docks at my marine are floating, so most people with lower freeboard do it like I do. The taller cruisers  that stick out past the dock get a set of permanently installed wooden steps to step onto the gunwale.

The manager said if I wanted to stern in that it'd be smartest to get it halfway in and then shut it down and walk it back. Plus, my view of the lake is pretty nice, so I would rather look at the view instead of a metal seawall.

Just wondering with a low water problem what kind of money do they charge to keep your boat there compared to other marina's????

JoeStang

Its not just the marina, but the entire lake is at near record low levels.

Plus, its not just the water level. They are floating docks, so there is a gradual decline "ramp" down the actual horizontal dock. So, if you sterned in you wouldnt be able to step onto the swim platform anyways.

If the water was 2-3 higher (which is was when the marina was built), then alot more people may stern in.

This shows what I mean:

Geez J13, I'd have to watch the margaritas if I had to walk those planks! Might keep some of my pesky relatives away though! M.T.

Doesn't look drinking friendly at all.

The sea walls look the same by us.  It's crazy..... No motoring on or off the trailers at all anymore.
