Winter Boat Storage

Post by kodacachers » Wed Oct 22, 2014 4:15 pm

I'm looking for a place within 45 minutes of Bellevue to store my boat over the winter. I'd really like to be able to fish this winter so was looking for heated storage (its a sterndrive) but am having a hard time finding a spot. Many of the boat storage places are full or won't let me come and go over the winter. Mini storage is tight (8'8" door openings) and usually unheated. So two questions:
1) Anyone know of a heated indoor location? Its 22 feet head to tail.
2) Or know of covered outdoor parking with power that I could hook an engine heater to (and any thoughts on that route, I'm a bit skiddish about it).

Otherwise I'll have to winterize and wait for spring.

Thanks.

Bayside Marine at Everett Marina has dry, heated boat storage. It includes taking the boat out by forklift for winter fishing. I thought about using them this summer but just moored my boat at the Everett Marina instead. Bayside storage aint cheap. You have to call for rates.

I did a search on "Seattle boat storage" and found a bunch that claim to have storage, including this one:

Good luck!

Thanks Barchaser! I didn't realize Bayside's stacks were inside.
