boat storage

[bucketmouth64]

I am looking to store my boat at another location indoors other than residence for the first time. I was wondering what questions I should ask about boat storage such as liability issues, or will I need to sign any kind of waiver? The prices I've called range from $200-280 from now until May, is this about the norm?

Sounds reasonable from what I've seen. I found an ad on a-sales-site for storage in a nice heated building in St Paul. I called on it, turns out it's the FFA building on the State Fair Grounds. Would be a great spot to put a boat but for winterizing and storage they wanted around $500 I believe. I think for just the storage was at least $350. My uncle said I could put it in his pole barn so that's what I've decided, it's free. Dirt floor though so I don't know if there is anything I need to be aware of from that aspect.

Yea, I pay $200 for inside storage of my aluminum 16' fishing boat from mid Oct-May.

put a piece of wood under each tire. dirt can be hard on tires if left in one place for to long(breaks down the rubber of the tire). also don't forget to add something to keep the mice out (ex : mothballs).

I actually put my boat on jack stands for the winter so that it keeps the tires from flat spotting.

That's what I normally do. I will have to ask wherever I decide to store boat if they will allow me to do this.
