Winter Storage

Jersey Guy · 09-06-2021, 07:57 AM

Hello, been taking my 22 ft bowrider to Independent Marine in Moultonborough for about the past 10 years for storage and winterization. I like the idea of having it stored inside, cost has crept up to $45/foot. I pay for oil change, outdrive service from them separately. I'm generally satisfied with their service, however, would like to know if there are any recommendations for indoor storage and service in the area that people are satisfied with. I bring my boat on my own trailer, and put in/take out at the public launch right over the Long Island bridge. Thanks!

Only thing I will add is if you are happy and they have reserved a spot for you each off season, keep it. Storage areas will be difficult to secure this coming off season
Also hearing because of the labor shortage many marinas service departments have switched to service only to those that have purchased a boat from them.

We pay $55/ft. at Melvin Village and have no issues doing so because the increases have always seemed reasonable, and they do a great job.

Indoor storage only. Service and cleaning services are extra.

$55 is fair. I have the marina I use checking to see if they have indoor space for me.
If not, I may just buy a pole barn and store it at home.
