Boat storage

[danielson]

Hey everyone, I got a 14' boat and trailer given to me by a lady who wanted it gone. I live on the SW side of Indy, and I got it in a storage place here, and its 50 frikin bucks a month to park it outside, AND I am not allowed to work on it while its there.. GOD I hate the city, frikin ripped off at every turn..

Does anyone know a place I can park this boat outside for cheaper? Possibly also be able to restore it on site..

I can take it to my dads, but thats 2 hours away, and it would be nice to be able to go work on it after work.


Thanks.

Unfortunately that is kind of the going rate from what I have found.

Welcome to the world of Boat ownership.

I see you're on the SW side, how far north would you consider storing it? Do you need power to work on it?

You can always store it in my garage!

Thanks for the offer, A couple friends also offered their garages, but Im not into that. I dont want to put my **** in someone elses way. Just wondered if anyone knew a guy. I mean, wtf about parking a 14ft boat on a gravel lot is worth 50 bucks a month?

Im not looking to store it too far away, my dad lives 70 miles away, and I can just take it there for free.

haha wait until you start restoring it! B.O.A.T. Bring. Out. Another. Thousand.

HAHAHAHA... I dont think so. Im going to remove the crap paint they put inside it, and coat it in gluvit. Get a 60$ trolling motor and a 70$ battery. I dont have the first thousand to spend on it, let alone ANOTHER...

I stored a boat on the west
side of plainfield for $30 a month a couple of years back. I believe it was called Hine's self storage. Just a gravel lot around some storage units, but it was secure and affordable.

Nice lead. Thanks, I will look into it.

There is storage available in Martinsville for small boats starting around $20 month, no working on them there though.

They say the 2 happiest days of a boat owner are the day he buys it and the day he sells it. And every time my friends boat breaks down it is "Break Out Another Thousand"

The cheaper the storage area, the more likely it is all your gear in the boat will be stolen so if you get a deal, leave nothing in it, not even the motor. Follow the river inside and out of 465, there some river rat looking stuff along there, Mann Rd. etc. and up and down Kentucky Ave.
