Ours is outside under a full wrap canvas cover (thanks Poffshore! 
).
What's the deal with cleaning the snow off? is the weight a big issue or what?

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
I got the bright idea last winter to leave the convertable top up under the tarp on my last boat. It was nice when getting inside and working on stuff ect. But the snow load crushed it 
Lesson learned...
I had a building lined up for the new boat but it's too long to get up the steep drive without bottoming the trailer. So it's also in the yard w/a tarp. Gonna buils a roof/carport structure this spring I think.

Shrink wrap doesnt allow for any fresh air though??
I've used mil-du-gas hanging bags for 20 yrs and when you unrap in spring everything is good.
They used to make the potent stuff that burns your eyes when you opened cabin up in spring. The enviromentalists put a ban on the good stuff.

Mine sits in its toy box 105'x48'. Heated to a comfortable 57 degrees. Don't have to winterized, ready to go to Florida on a moments notice.
