Default Tampa area storage

Hi Everybody,

I"m thinking about buying the 51 Outerlimits posted in the classifies. I live in the Tampa area and am striking out I"m finding storage. I did find a place that as uncovered boat lifts but I"m not interested in any way leaving the boat exposed to the elements. I thought if there is anyplace I might have some luck, it would be here. Any suggestions?

Space is tough around here sadly.

Try reaching out to Nick with Statement Marine. He can usually assist in finding a place or know where one is at.

Hi Hogie
I've checked most everyplace that has indoor storage and have had no luck. The boat is to big for their racks (45 ft) and so far no-one is willing to store it on the trailer inside the building Any help would be appreciated

A covered boat lift is ok or no?

This is owned by Innovation Marine. Not Tampa but might get you by until you find something closer.

Sure. It all depends on the logistics of it all. How much weight can the lift handle? How long is the top. The boat is 51 so a top thats 20 probably doesn't work. Where is it? Private or marina? Cost? My insurance has the last word as to where the boat is stored so I'd have to clear it with them, but yeah I wouldn't be opposed to this.

Maximo has covered lifts. I know I’ve seen boats around 40’. I’m not sure how long the roof is
