outside storage
Wondering if any body has any tips for outside storage in the harsh winters of the north east i have the blocks winterized the cockpit cover and full boat cover on along with a tarp over the whole boat just wondering if theres anything else i can do

Multiple covers is not really a good thing. The seams on one cover can rub holes in the other one.
I'd pull the cockpit cover off and make sure the whole boat cover has plenty of "tent poles" to make sure you do not have any snow and/or water pooling. Make sure the nose is up so any water that gets in the boat drains out the back.
Make sure you have plenty of DampRid in the cabin and engine compartment, or some other type of moisture/humidity control to keep mold from growing.

No, just a white poly tarp.
