What is a reasonable fee for indoor boat storage? I have a deal for $500 for the winter for a 20' Cobalt. This is off the lake in Winnipisaukee. I had to jump on it for timing purposes.

Re: Boat Storage

Depending on how long your keeping it in storage that sounds very expensive to me. I can get storage for about 50 dollars a month. :) :)

I was quoted $340 for the season on a 17' Lund. I decided instead to shrink wrap for less than 1/2, and have it available when I want in the spring.

Re: Boat Storage

Murdock jr. is about right. If you take the time and keep your eye on the newspaper you should be able to find a farmer or old warehouse, in the 300 dollar range. Although in Two Rivers you can probably get storage for a 12pak and a bottle of brandy. Lived there 20+ years.<br /><br />I would recommend finding a near rural newspaper right now or in Sept. (next year) and look in the classifieds. Getting early contact with someone and treating them right is a good way to secure winter storage for years to come.<br /><br />It is a personal preference but I look at indoor storage as a maintainance item that will prolong the life of the boat. I have only kept my boat outside one year, when I was relocating from California to Wisconsin.

Check out county fairgrounds. They will often use their buildings for storage in the winter. I store my 17ft OB indoors (Sibley Cty Fair) for $120 for the winter season. I have to drive an hour out of the city, but thats no big deal..

Re: Boat Storage

MarkJ...I'm over at Newfound so the rate might be comparable, yours maybe a little higher. Indor storage, racked is about $650 for 20feet if you can find it, $450 is about the going rate here if committed by Otcober 1, so $500 right now is fair. Over here, they'll winterize and storage for $650.
