Indoor storage is billed at a per season rate. Up to six months of dockage are included in a "season". We request that the boat is brought in with holding tank and water tanks empty, and fuel tanks as low as possible to avoid fire hazard. Some storage prep is required in order to lower masts, etc. Charges may apply if customer would request periodic battery charging, etc. As boats are placed for maximum storage, first boats out will most likely be the last boats in the water. Please bear this in mind for scheduling purposes. Due to insurance regulations, outside contractors are not permitted to work inside our buildings.
Why should you consider indoor boat storage?
Temperature changes above and below freezing expand and contract various parts of the boat.
- Windows
- Decks
- Fiberglass Mold Joints
- Handrails
- Caprails
These changes accelerate the depreciation of the structure as a whole.
Weather and Ultraviolet light adversely affect the cosmetic conditions of the boat.
- Fiberglass Gelcoat
- Varnish
- Paint
- Wax
- Canvas
- Interior
With the high price of cosmetic upkeep, it makes good sense to protect your investment.
It is a proven fact that boats left in the water blister. Boats hauled and stored to allow the laminate to dry, release the moisture preventing moisture content to reach the 20% range where blisters start forming. Pulling your boat every season and allowing it to dry will also stop the penetration and further deterioration of any current moisture or blistering problems.
Boat stored inside are able to have projects completed by spring that would otherwise not be possible outdoors, giving a earlier start on the boating season.
Our newest boat storage building is capable of handling large numbers of bots of any size. See more pictures of this building with boats stored in the winter of 2006/2006.
