One of the keys to owning a boat is the question of

where to keep it when you aren't using it. Your

budget, convenience, and availability are all keys

that should be talked about.

Trailering

There's no less expensive way to store a boat than

on a trailer in your driveway or yard. A trailer

offers you the advantages of taking your boat into

different areas of water, taking your boat out

whenver you like, or just saving fees on your winter

storage. Before you look into a trailer, make sure

that your vehicle has the towing capacity for your

boat and the equipment you need.

Rack storage

For smaller boats, a great alternative to storage is

rack storage, or dry stacks. Typical rack storage

facilities will keep your boat in a covered shed

filled with plenty of room. Simply call the facility

before you want to use the boat and they will

retrieve it for you. When you are finished boating,

simply bring it back, tie it up, and they will

return it to the storage area for you.

Marina advantage

If your a boat owner craving convenience, a marina

slip is just what you need. Simply drive your family

to the marina, get in the boat, and go. Rates will

vary from state to state, although most offer you

several other perks as well.

Buying your slip

In some areas, you can actually buy a permanent slip

at a marina. This can be great to have in high

demand areas, as it guarantees you a slip at the

marina whenever you need to store your boat. The

purchased slip is a long term asset, and is good

for as long as you own a boat.
