Gosh that is interesting the boat houses being submerged in water. I suppose you would have to tie the boat down to stop it floating away, and how do they get the boat out when it is low tide?

The boathouse has a cradle that slings at the back and the front of the boat. There is a large metal wheel you turn it and it raises the boat out of the water. The water level doesn't change too much unless there is a storm with huge winds. This is a huge freshwater lake, one of the Great Lakes. Thank You for your interest my friend
Thanks friend for that explanation. I was thinking of a boat being put on a trailer of sorts like they have at our boat clubs.
All boats are removed by trailers at the boat launch after the season when winter hits. The large steel vessels stay in the harbor.
