Winter Storage Costs
Just got my winter storage form from MVM, and I think it's gone up substantially—$53/ft. Anyone remember what it was last year (in my head, it was $44).
What does everyone else pay for indoor storage? Might be time to start looking for a different place to store/service. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

As you state that seems awfully high....
$53 x 24' = $1,272 (my boat length as an example) The question is what does that price include...... Now independent Marine show 40$ per foot on their website, which according to their website included winterization, and spring start up......

Winter Storage Costs
All summer long there have been comments on the Forum about the lack of docking spaces and the lack of launching spaces, so I don't think it should come as any surprise that the price for storage would be going up. This is Economics 101. I realize that it is not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison, but all components of boating are becoming more expensive every year, so the storage component of boating is simply following suit. When a boat is in the water, being used, providing fun and happiness for a family, writing the check doesn't seem too bad, BUT, when the boat is sitting in storage, doing nothing, then writing the check doesn't seem too pleasant.

Inside storage, winterization of engine, head and water systems $1360.73.
I thought about shopping around but my laziness won out. |

Compare?
What's the comparison to shrink wrap? I used to shrink wrap, waiting in line for indoor storage. It's about $2-300 cheaper to shrink wrap. Haven't received a new bill yet for 20-21. For the years I did shrink wrap, no loss to the boat. I moved indoors when I got a boat with a lot of varnish. New (to me) boat this yea will likely stay outside.

I like working with MVM because it's where we bought the boat, so warranty work, history, etc. has some value, but at some point it's just simply may become an impossibility based on our incomes—I sometimes and reminded of all those camps families lost over the years because of the crazy tax increases, etc. I'm still trying to figure out what we paid last year, though, as I think this year went up but last year may have gone up more than I remember. I think I'll be looking at $1350 or so for storage, winterization, oil change, gear lube, etc. for my 20' 'toon. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

At MVYC there is no charge for space in the field for winter storage. Lift fees, winterizing are all at standard rates. Rack storage last year was $1.25 sq ft, Shrink wrap was $1.60 sq ft, so rack was the better deal for some. Inside storage was $2.50 sq ft. Remember, this is a condo, not open to the general public, so your rates may vary. I don't know the 2020 rates yet. |
