Comments/concerns about shields dry storage?
Posted: April 12th, 2015, 10:24 am
I currently keep my boat with shields in a 30x15 storage shed at an extremely reasonable price(too cheap). This includes use of the ramp. Its been fine but the ramp has been annoying me lately(not really people but lack of parking) so i'm leaning towards dry storage or a wet slip.
A wet slip would be awesome for convenience but horrible on the boat(bottom paint is ugly), bashing up against the docks and i'd be worried about sinking due to rain.
Dry storage is a bit pricey compared to what I'm paying now($50 vs $175 + trailer storage), I'm worried about backup times on busy weekends, not having access to tinker with my boat, diesel soot/forklift soot/ and boats sitting above mine raining muck down. If I do want to take my boat elsewhere I have to have them launch it and then put it on the trailer which would be a pain(stick to st marks mostly though). The perks are obvious plus I'd be able to drive my car down there vs the tow rig.
The Shield family is great and I love the operation the run just looking for insight specifically towards dry storage there.
