Where does everyone store their boats?

[mf01]

I currently have mine parked in my driveway. The only way to get it into the garage is going corner to corner. My 2 car garage is only 21' at the tip. Right now my 350z has reign over the garage. I'm waiting for an HOA letter, as the bylaws say no boats in the driveway. I feel that my 94 Sport looks better than cars parked in other peoples' driveways, but we'll see. I just have to squeak by til the beginning of June. My parents are building a new house, with a 3 car tandem garage. Their HOA has a private ramp and their house will be less than 2 miles from the lake/ramp. I have to sell my Dad's boat (Seadoo Jetboat), but he'll let me store mine in his garage.

In the garage. Third stall has a ten foot door and is 45 feet deep. Clears the dooor (tower up) by about 6 inches.

YOU WILL HAVE YOUR BOAT A LOT LONG THAN A CAR SO KEEP IT IN A GARAGE OR A SHED

At the cabin in the garage over the winter, up on the lift under the canopy in the summer

Big Toy Storage -- Just around the corner from my house - I just call and they pull it out within a few minutes - well worth the money at 5 bucks a foot considering the investment - I hate to think thoughts of any Nautique being left out in the rain

I think this was towards me. It'll be in a garage in a month, maybe sooner. After posting this I came home yesterday to a letter from my HOA about my boat being in my driveway. It'll either go to storage for a month or my car will sit in the driveway for a month.

Boat Storage

In the backyard. This time next year it should finally have a home (after 17 years) in a new garage with an I-Beam travel hoist for maintenance off the trailer.

RE: Boat Storage

I have a third garage with a seperate driveway that's just for the boat. I had to move another wall when I got the 211. Now for the dilema, I have to lower the tower to get it into the garage, and with speakers on it's a difficult task at best and impossible with only one person. Does anyone have any secrets to lowering the tower? I keep threatening to put a 12 ft garage door in but that would entail either raising the entire house or removing the floor in the living room - which I'm ok with - the wife on the other hand keeps using excuses like "resale value". If I didn't like boats so much I'd be a rich man.

RE: Boat Storage

I'm going to be in the same "boat" with my 220 when my place is finished. I've got a 28 x 14 garage being built, but the largest door they allow is 8' high. I have not tried to drop the tower yet, but plan to this weekend. i've got the defcon III, with spinners. I imagine its pretty heavy.

My solution may involve a tall tree and a pulley, I'll keep you informed.

Right now in the backyard. Hopefully a year from now we'll be in our new home and the boat will be in it's new home, a 27' x 31' garage (first time in 17 years) with a I-beam travel hoist for maintenance off the trailer.

My 211 fits through the 7' door into the 24' deep garage with .0001" to spare, after removing the platform.



I am fixing that problem:



8' door, 44 feet deep. Should work :grin: :grin:

Fast, It looks like you are currently trapped ? Spring is here !

[Fast351]

Negative, boat is out of the garage

[WakeSlayer]

nice dude. water temp was 62.5 last night, put the drysuit away for the year.

[Fast351]

Yep, was wakeboarding myself. Still using a half length wetsuit. The wind was a little chilly when you were heading into it, but it was a beautiful night.
