hi baz,
wouldn't do anything else. have had our boat in dry storage for years. best thing is you can get the boat put in the night before for a nice early start the next morning. don't have to fight the masses at the boat ramp. and boat is stored under cover the marina that i use will give the boat a quick wash down and flush the motor. mainly to stop salt water dripping over other boats.
has also lengthened the life of our trailer. only trailer it a few times a year, so the trailer stays in pretty good nick.
i think we probaby use the boat more, because it is so easy. there are times that if i had to tow it to the ramp etc i wouldn't have bothered, but at the marina it is no problems.
cheers
