Store mine in my hanger. I don't have a cover it gets a little dusty by spring but it cleans up real nice, need to get a cover. No problems with gelcoat fadeing so far. Buffed it one time in five years sence I've had it. I wax it once a year.

I finally bought some shrink wrap and a heat gun.I have a couple of boats to do.Damp rid is always needed and of course the winterizing of the engines,fog out,drain block and pour red antifreezein the engine.Purge the water system and add antifreeze(RV type red. It is keep outside and the snow slides off the wrap most off the time.Can't wait till spring.

I just back mine into heated garage and close the door.

I use saw horse brackets to build a saw horse 6 feet high. One set of legs on the swim platform, one set on the fore deck. I lay a 40 X 60 foot tarp over it and clamp it to the trailer. The thing flaps enough to keep air flowing through the boat so mold has never been a problem. The tarp only touches the boat at the rails so rubbing on the gelcoat has never been a problem. However, I would not suggest doing it this way unless you are nearby as snow, and wind sometimes cause it to sag or come loose.

Outside, framed and tarped or shrinkwrapped.

Covered sitting on the trailers inside a large rack building surrounded by performance boats!!

In a garage, uncovered with everything open, hatches, etc, cushions off, rug out all to let it dry completely.
