Boathouse that is not entrenched in the shore has been filling with sand now since 1959. Used to house a 26' lakelaunch in their, but now have trouble from Sept on keeping a 16-17' boat in because of the sand. I think that the problem is people adding sand to their waterfront. Someone talked about running a motor and driving the sand out. I think ours was kept cleaner in the early days because of the inboard. I tried that with my outboard and almost lost the water pump.
