Storing your Boat in the Winter Helpful Tip / A MUST DO

This is a huge tip for storing your boat outside in the winter in areas that get snow. It is a must do to complete your winterize.

Chris- do you store with your lower end up? I've been advised to keep trimmed down to minimize strain on the bellows

I'm just getting ready to winterize my boat. Luckily I have a pole shed to keep it in now. So much easier than keeping it outside.

Do you just store it in your driveway after this? I have always felt safer having my boat wrapped professionally, I hate the cost every year but its peace of mind, I don't know if tarps would make me feel comfortable, also, what about venting? I don't see much airflow here.

Great advice! Do you

I have a Search Bow rider with factory cover for the bow. Should I remove that when I install full boat cover for winter and storing outdoors. I'm concerned it may get mildew.

Does the boat get mildew or mold because of lack of air flow?

Would love to see how you built the tripod and the supports in the front

Hey Chris, woud love to send you some product. Do you have an e-mail so we can properly reach out?

I notice you’re using two different size tarps is that intentional? And if so what different widths did you go with?

[ezequielnegrete]

Chris will you be storing it outdoors? Or inside ?

[thaitaing]

Do you have a link to where you bought your tarp?

Would love to see how you bag the lower end. I winterized my boat for the first time this year (storing it outside). Pretty sure there's no more water in the lower end (put the lower end all the way down to let the water drain) and I'd like to keep it that way, lol

Hey great video.
Have you had any experience with Stingrays? Thinking about buying a 537 zpx Stingray.
