Storage for trailerless boats

Leoskeys · 03-31-2016, 06:49 PM

My father has a 22' pontoon, with no trailer(he had a dock/house on Newfound Lake). After selling the Newfound home he'll be keeping his pontoon on my dock at Winni this summer. At Newfound his marina would pull his boat at seasons end, put it on blocks, and winterize/wrap it. Does anyone know if a marina on Winni offers similar services for the off-season? In summary, this fall he'll need a marina that can pull his boat out and store it for him without a trailer.

I don't have a trailer. On May 1st I'm gonna pick it up from the marina and in late October bring it back. They do the rest!

What marina? We'd prefer one in the Laconia, Gilford, Alton, Wolfeboro area.

I'm up north, but I'm sure there's a bunch of places down there. Someone will come along with suggestions soon.

Parkers in Alton under the bridge stores a number of "island boats" for the winter in their sheds - can try there

All the boat dealers in Alton, Gilford and Laconia offer winterization, shrink wrap and storage. West Alton Marina, Fay's, Irwin, Channel, Thurstons, Paugus Bay all offer what you are looking for. Get a reservation early as they take current summer rack/docking customers first and then others on an as space is available basis.

Give Andrew's Marine Service at Minge Cove in West Alton a call. He has a boat storage building next to Precious Gardens on Rt. 11 in Alton, and over the summer he'll be constructing a second boat storage building behind the existing one.

Dave's Motorboat Shoppe LLC, next to Beans & Greens.

They do rescue and pick-up, storage, and are without doubt par excellence on the service end of the business.

As mentioned .....

ALL Marina's compete for this type of business after satisfying their Valet/ Marina regulars !

Dave's Motor Boat Shoppe in Gilford pulls ours at Glendale, takes care of everything over the winter and launches it when we are ready in Spring. Great people and reasonable prices.

I 2nd the vote for Dave's. We store both our boat and PWC there and they treat their customers well.

I have a 20ft 'toon I store at Channel Marine in Laconia, on Paugus at the Weirs channel.. They dry store it and wrap it all winter and valet it all summer. No complains, nothing but praise.
