Hey everyone, I am considering rack storing my vessel at Kelly's Port for the year. They seem to have nice amenities but are a bit pricey. Has anyone had any previous experience with them or suggestions/warnings?

I have heard good things about kelly's port its hard to find rack storage at loto, I have a 38 baja I had to buy a trailer was unable to find rack storage. I use sliver sands good place .

where do you stay at when there? assuming must be close to kellys, what are they costing these days? i may know of a better option, more private.

I have used Kelly Port for several things over the years and they are top notch. I buy most of my gas there also.

Silver Sands is at the 38mm

If you are wanting to stay i the same area I think Mungenast is a nice place also and it is climate controlled so no winterization if you so desire.

Munganast is now Formula Boats of Missouri. Joe Gibbs is running the place now. Good guy. Their site has pics of the rack storage.

Glad you asked this question cuz I've been wondering the same thing myself. In addition to Kelly's I was wanting to get opinions from others on some other places such as Formula Marine, Marine Max, or any others? If anyone knows of anything to watch out for with these places and doesn't want to post it publicly, please feel free to PM me. I'd just like to know up front if anyone has any horror stories or anything to be warned about before choosing any of them. I'm still kinda leary about someone else handling my boat and dumping it in and out of the water and cleaning it....maybe I'm being paranoid though?

I called Kelly's a month or two ago and they quoted me $257/month or $2,570/year for a 35 Fountain.

Silver sands has worked great for me

Can't say much on pricing but will tell you that you will be happy with Kelly's Port if you decide to use them. I used to work there and they have great customer service and take excellent care of their customers and their boats. And with a quick call or email your boat will be in the water wiped down and ready when you get there. Good luck with whoever you choose.
