Storing Your Boat
One of the problems when owning a boat is where to store it when you aren't using it. Your budget and the closeness and availability of storage are just a few of the things you should think about.
The easiest way to store your boat and trailer is in your own driveway or yard. This is much cheaper and more convenient than storing it somewhere else. It gives you immediate access in case you want to do something on the spur of the moment. Just be sure your vehicle has the towing capacity you need.
You can also get rack storage or what is called dry stacks. Typically rack storage is in a covered shed or building that will keep your boat dry and safe. When you want your boat call the storage place before you want to use the boat and they will get it down and ready for you. When you are done, bring it back and they will return it to the storage area for you.
If you really want more convenience storing your boat at a slip in the marina is the best answer, Just drive you and your family to the marina, get in the boat and go. Rates for slips will vary by area and most offer you several other options.
In some areas you can actually buy a slip for permanent storage at a marina, If you live in a high demand area for slips it does guarantee you a place for your boat. Purchasing a slip is a good investment and a long term asset that you can sell later if you should quit boating for whatever reason.
