Winter Boat Storage

melvinbayboater · 08-13-2004, 09:55 PM

I'm looking for indoor winter boat storage for a 22' boat, preferably on the north side of the lake. Any recommendations?

melvinbayboater asked this last month and still no answers. I'm also looking for a new winter storage place. Anybody have experience good or bad to relate. Anybody have opinions on inside vs outside or shrinkwrapped vs racked?

I need to store my 26' bowrider and I don't own a trailer. I've always used Irwin and they're very convienent but a little above average on price. But this spring we had a little disagreement on delivery dates, so I'm looking around.

I heard Daves Motor Boat Shoppe in Gilford is good & reasonable. I prefer outside with shrinkwrap to inside. You never have to worry about a bad roof caving in from heavy snow & if its shrinkwrapped properly it can withstand heavy snow outside, I have not had a problem outside yet. Also easier to get at outside in the spring to clean it up, open it up etc. Some of the inside facilities pack them in so close its hard to work around them. Also maybe a problem launching in the spring if you are behind other boats that are not moving right away. Just my thoughts on outside vs inside. And also it usually is cheaper outside compared to inside.

Independant Marine which is at the end of RT.109, nice folks there.

You could be picked up at Roberts cove by Hillcrest Marine and have your boat winterized, shrinkwrapped, stored, and dewinterized for $20.00 per foot.
Had a great experience with them.

I've reserved with Dave's Motorboat Shoppe, based on some recommendations and a visit. He will pick me up at the Gilford town docks. His prices seem comparable to Hillcrest, maybe a tad higher. The boat will be shrink wrapped and stored in a covered boat rack building. I'm also have the bottom presure washed but that's a little extra.

Anyone out there know if Gillan marine is unusually expensive, in Alto Bay?

I always use Shep Browns Boat Basin great service and prices.Steve and Chris do a fantastic job IMHO.

NH Motor Speedway has inside storage available. Only for small boats as the door heights are low.
