Last weekend I was up exploring in York County, Maine. A lot of lobster boats are still in the water and I saw a few out working even though the weather was crappy, to say the least. However, as I was exploring some of the country roads I noticed that many homes had large (38' - 45') lobster boats sitting in their yards on stands and blocks for the winter.<br /><br />How are these boats transported and more importantly, how do they get them off and on the trucks in people's side yards? Many of these boats are as large or larger than the homes they are sitting next to!<br /><br />Incidentally, these guys that still are out there lobstering are tough as nails!
