Crusty Chief
Guru
We are doing a lot of research in preparation for our trip south next year. Hurricane season and the extreme heat would dictate that the summer months in the upper part of the area are the best time to get work done on the boat. We are planning to haul Pairadice late spring/early summer of 2020 in the Sea of Cortez and are looking for recommendations or experiences with others who have had yard work done and storage of there boat in the following places.
1. Puerto Penasco
2. San Carlos/ Guaymas
We have had a few recommendations for either and would prefer Puerto Penasco as our first choice. Mainly because of the distance from our home in Las Vegas, the trip to Puerto Penasco would be about an 8 hour drive, and we would be able to drive our own vehicle back and forth a few times. The drive down to San Carlos would be at least twice as long.
Pairadice is listed as 47 ft. But actually she’s 52 ft. Total length and roughly 60K weight in slings.
The yard storage fee’s per month we have seen are about $400 maybe less if the yard is doing work at the same time. Striping and revarnish the cap rails, glass repair of stress cracks and possible new gelcoat or painting above the side rails and bottom paint are items on the list. We want high quality work done and dont mind paying for that type of work. We think we will be on the hard for about 6 months.
So, if you have used either of these locations we would appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance.
