This is what I would do if I were you. Because marina storage has gone out of sight in the last 2 years. I changed where I store as well but I can't trailer as the boat is too big. If you have space to store on your own for free, buy a used trailer, much cheaper than new since it sounds like you are only going to launch at the beginning of the season and haul at the end. If your handy build your own frame and buy a tarp to cover it for the winter, no shrinkwrap needed. I did this when I trailered. You will save on storage and shrinkwrap and with a used trailer will probably break even in 2 - 3 given what marinas are charging.
