Boat storage options.

[pathfinder]

I have finally talked the wife into letting me get a boat! Yay! Now I have to find a place to store it. Any recommendations? The cheaper the better! Don't have any room at my house unless there is a way to cram an bass boat with trailer into a garage that barely fits my Tacoma.

you can rent a storage unit for about 110 a month. pretty pricy. you can call this number 423-667-9978, he runs industrial lift truck in soddy but also runs a storage place in bakewell. its a big warehouse type storage, or can leave outside. but he charge me 2 dollars a foot to store my bass boat before i bought a house. it wound up being 40 a month. not sure if he has any room right now or not but worth giving him a call if that aint to far for you to drive

Thats definitely to far. I only live like 2 minutes from the chick dam. Thanks for the advice though!

If it isnt against subdivison regulations you can get an aluminum shed installed. I have a couple of friends that use them. You just have to lock stuff up due to thieves.

Don't have anywhere to put an aluminum shed with the landscaping.

Then you should let the wife have the goat she wants.

Lol Carl good idea. Kill two birds with one stone.

What length of boat will your garage hold?

 

[Buoy-Master]

Measure your rig. From back of motor to the coupler on the trailer. Then measure how much room you need. Sometimes, coming 3 inches up on the tounge of the trailer and converting to a swing tongue works.

 

[pathfinder]

Not much. It will not fit much more than my Tacoma lengthwise so I don't even think a trailer with a foldable tongue will work.

My old house had a 20X20 garage. I parked a 20' Javelin in there. Had to trim the motor down and put in in diaginaly. The prop touched one corner and the tounge was in the opposite corner. The 20X20 was the outside measurements. Inside was like 19'6"X19'6"

Hmmm ill have to measure it out then.
