Cigarette Storage
 

Besides storing your Top Gun inside, what is the best way to store one to keep it nice?

Not sure I'll have room in my shop and wondering what options others do to keep a nice boat nice.


Thanks

store it inside!!! :noevil:

Portable structures...........if you have room on your property they are quick to put up and fairly inexpensive...........add electric and heat and you have it all.

shelter logic will work

I just put the cockpit cover on and then put the full cover on. I run a boat heater in in all winter (in addition to winterizing obviously).

Other than that not much to do in my mind

Did a Tasmanian Devil attack your fence?

I like that pole barn you have.

honestly...store the boat indoors whether its a legit factory building or a portable unit. keep it out of the elements. money spent here will negate money expenditures down the road needed to fix any damage that may occur during winter.

Sandy dropped a tree on it...........thanfully, before the Mag port went up!

The city sais I`m not supposed to have this but I don`t like authority much.
One day I might even enclose it.

Inside-- No winterize- Nice day GO BOATING!!!

What brand is that tent thing? I was going to do a awning like yours but going to do a building I hope in the next 2 years, don't wanna spend money on something I am gonna tear down wish my barn was bigger!

This will be the first winter it sits outside normally I store at buddy's buildings... Saving money for engines this year.

I had one of the above for years.

But it's no substitute for this:

ofcourse it's no substitute for a pole barn, but for the money and ease to erect it's a great alternative.

What kind of heater? Whats your logic for that? Thinking of doing the same as long as it is safe.

I can't remember the name of the heater but it is one of the boat heaters that is spark proof. I didn't get it out this year because my engines are in my garage unfortunately. It comes on at temperatures under 45 degrees if I remember correctly.

My logic was always that just keeping some heat in there was good for hoses, belts, etc.... Don't know if it is worth a damn but I've never replaced a single belt or hose. Figured it was also just a "backup" in case I had a place where I didn't get good coolant penetration in a cooler or block....

EDIT - the brand is Xtreme heaters....

What you see a lot of in Fl. Buddy home built one for about half the price by getting his own corrugated and tubing than having a local exhaust shop bend his tubing.
