Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

You are mines under a tent :p

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

you can build a brace pretty easily that you can put a tarp over and all the snow will fall off.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

You could move,I did went boating on sunday new years day!No snow in the forcast EVER!Shrink wrap was the only way I would store my boat.I wasted too much time building braces,sheds and tarps.Unfortunately 400 bucks a yr to throw in the garbage sucks but it keeps everything ship shape.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

i got a tarp over the boat and trailer but i dont like the white stuff all over it. gotta keep the tarp clean too

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

I have the boat shrinkwrapped like an Indian Tee Pee...

Even though it's pretty steep, you still have to clean off the snow a little. I don't want to be out there in the middle of winter fixin the shrink wrap, so I'll just clean off whatever collects but most of it just falls off.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

Snowmobiles belong outside in the snow.

Heck, my boat doesn't even see rain.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

My 18 Donzi on the trailer with out the shrink wrap is probably 4.5-5 feet tall. With the shrink wrap I am guessing at leaste 10-11 feet :eek: :eek: Aint no snow sticking to that thing. I am hoping that the ice up in Maine melts as I have the boat in my neighbors yard for when they were building the house. I have not had a chance to move it with out there being any snow on the ground.

Yes I am. You did a sweet job on those engines. Now lets bang on the side of the boat as hard as we can like a Indian drum :evilb: :evilb:

....until our hands hurt :eek: :D :D

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

I got tired of paying to shrink wrap .........so I bought a shrink wrap gun
and a roll of shrink wrap and now everything I own gets wrapped.
I do my patio furniture, equipment in my yard that doesn't get used, etc.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

i know there is more of you who store there boats at home

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

I,m paying $250/mo for indoor heated storage. $84 is a deal!

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

I can't find any place to put mine inside, it's all wrapped up with a fan running inside and some other stuff to keep it dry. I also have a oil radiator style heater in it so if it's going to snow I turn it on so the snow just melts off.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

He knows, going to from 2 to 3$/ft. next winter. Warehouse was used to make ammo for Vietnam war. Ran 24/7

maybe I can get a break as the running surface isn't 42! :evilb:

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

I store mine outside under shrinkwrap. And yes, I have to get the snow off of it as well.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

Mine out side year round. No snow here. 68 degrees last weekend. Almost went out.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

I also store ours outside. We don't get much snow, only alot of hail 4-5 times per year. Lately, we have been getting alot of rain. :(

I have a remote thermostat in the bilge sending a signal to my office so I know when to turn on the bilge oil heater when it hits freezing temps. :cool:

Toy garage not in the budget at this time. :drink:

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

Cuda will see that Donzi, and it'll end up being number 9....:eek: :eek: :D

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

6 weeks after I got the boat I couldn't stand it any more......This thing was perfect!

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

that thing is perfect

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

what is this "snow" you speak of???

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

You can either get a pod and keep you boat in a pod or just keep it under your house :D

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

kingb does stecz know you put a pic of his house on here

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

That's great !!! Where'd you find that? How do you keep it from blowing away when it gets real, real, windy?

I'd like to put one of them up in the driveway just to keep the boat under during the summer months. :cool:

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

I keep mine under a King Canopy year round. Makes for a cheap but very functional garage $800. Keeps all rain, snow, ice etc off the boat and I can have good access to work on it anytime.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

Beat me to it ya bastage. :D

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

The "tent" is 14 x 42 x 15 ft tall and is anchored to the ground with 22 (one on each pole) anchors that are 2-3 ft deep. Found it online for 2K. They come is various quality levels and I upgraded most everything I could. (10 mil "tent" material, galvanized instead on powder coated poles, double doors, vents, etc) I wouldn't consider it very portable for summer only use. It takes about 24 hours of labor to build the frames and anchor them into the ground. I'd hate to try and remove them every fall.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

Mine's parked in the drive. I used to have it in front of the house till a neighbor complained to the county code enforcer.
As far as I know there isn't anyplace local that had indoor space large enough to hold the boat and trailer. Even if I did find one I'm not sure I could afford it. Last I looked a local storage place wanted 120.00 a month for out side storage.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

I also use a tent 11' x 35'. It's the way to go...

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

Thats good info for wouldbe theives :eek:

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

I store all of mine outside, all with full covers. I don't have to fool with any snow, but I have to blow the leaves off it after a hurricane passes by.

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

mines outside in the driveway as we speak, had to go out at 9pm 1am 6am 12noon and 6pm to clean snow off. Years past I have built all kinds of crap to keep the snow off my other boats, this year just procrastinated, it does suck !! gotta come up w/ something, was thinking a 10X20 king canopy from overtons for 199.00..

Re: who stores there boat at home and outside.
 

We do our own, too.
