Default On Trailer Storage

I am looking for some information on boat storage locations. I am going to do outdoor for the season, and indoor for the winter. For those of you who store on the trailer where do you recommend.

I looked into Old Plank Rd Marina in Frankfort, just seeing if there is any other alternatives out there?

You aren't the only one....



Hey Engine Co....I rode past your house today on my way home from work! You must have the shortest commute to work I have ever seen! Boat looks good...at least the hull does! I would've stopped in, but it would probably be better if when we met initially I was wearing something other than bike shorts!

I don't know if you saw it covered or not.

We may be going downtown on Sunday depending on the weather.

I would have liked to make a quick run this afternoon to try a 23pitch prop that came with the boat, I am not happy with the 21.

For winter storage....a buddy of mine does some limited indoor boat storage at a factory over in Lake Zurich just off of half day rd.....it fills up fast though and he's limited to a max length of about 38' boat on a normal trailer....anything longer like with drive guards he has no way to get it in the building cause its a side entrance and cant swing it. I'm usually in there almost every weekend during winter working on either a project of mine or something from him (they also do classic car storage and resto's

Was a joke-

If you owe more than your boat is worth- store it at Lightning Bay - they have had multiple thefts this year...
Ahhhhh. NOW I get it.

I looked into Water Werks in CCHills, $86 for Summer $76 Winter

I am mainly looking for Summer Storage at a good price. I looked into some public storage and they want almost $200/mo

I think I am going with Old Plank Rd for the winter. That would be $92/mo@23'
