Well, as we all know, boating is over for most of us. Many already have, or in the process, of putting the boats away for the winter. For those of us who are not fortunate enough to be able to ski through the winter months (water ski, that is), and don't have big enough garages for all the toys, or that have relatives with barns, that means going to the local storage facility.
I was curious what others are paying for storage fees. I realize it varies across the country and depends on a number of factors. I am paying $2 per foot per month, so for my 19'6" '95 SN (round up to 20'), it is only $40/mo. for 5 months, or $200 total. Fully enclosed, metal building, non-heated, concrete floor. I figure I am getting a pretty good deal. It is a small price to pay to be able to get the car back in the garage and not have to scrape frost off the windows every morning. What are others paying? |

good price, you'll save that in wear and tear on the boat, i just did a 92 which is always kept out of the water and in a dry garage when not being used and if you looked at the boat you would think it was a 2007. the boat definitely will hold its value because of cosmetics alone ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

200 is a great price. We store in an old barn and pay the old farmer 175 for 5 months.
The guy has plenty of space- let me know if you want in. groton, MA ------------- Former: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=759" rel="nofollow - '86 Nautique http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=507" rel="nofollow - '65 Barracuda |

I paid $235 last year at the local fairground.Inside,dry ,concrete floor,no heat.
I checked into a place 3 miles from my house this year that was $50 a foot,but it was heated to 65 degrees,with alarm system and sprinkler system. I'm clearing land now to build a new garage at my house to permenantly solve that issue for next year Mike ------------- http:/diaries/details.asp?ID=2219" rel="nofollow - Air Nautique 210 Team 640 hours, not 1 regret |

My new storage/shop space is 300 a month plus whatever I spend on kerosene and electric. It currently is housing the 83 ski nautique, the 67 mustang, a 76 tahiti outboard, a 98 s10, a 67 landcruiser, a 2000 police interceptor, a 94 seadoo jetski, a few extra engines/outboards and an 86 suzuki quad. That leaves just enough room around most for work, one open drive in bay for day to day car repairs, a 8x12 area surrounded by workbenches for engine assembly etc.. , storage for all my tools and other junk and a small office. I am pretty excited about it, I have never had most of my vehicles and all of my tools in the same place before, if I don't finish my winter projects this year I won't have any excuses.

I store my boat in the garage, the cost being that my 2006 truck, which has far more value, has never spent a night under cover. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense other than I like having the boat where I can get to it for winter projects & measurements, and I don't like having constrictive time restraints for pick up and drop off of the boat such as "There are about 20 boats in front of yours so you can't get to it until May". The boat is such a crazy expense that it's also nice to eyeball it over the winter to remind yourself of how great it is. ------------- 2000 SN GT40 w/99 Graphics/Gel 2016 SN 200 OB 5.3L DI https://forum.fifteenoff.com |

In the attached heated garage all winter, cost? $159 for a remote starter on the wifes car and I better make sure I clear it off when the snow flies or things may change. I too work on my boat all winter so she "understands".  Keeps me out of trouble, also has a coffee pot 5' in one direction and a fridge for the beers 5' the other direction depending what mood I'm in. No cable for football games yet but I'm working on it.------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Even here in Rural NY I jumped on it in half a heartbeat. There are lots of old barns around but ones with concrete floors are more rare, and this one is under a mile from the house and about a mile and half from work. More in the vain of this thread before this shop I was renting a self storage unit 10x32 ft for 179 a month, held the s10 and all the random stuff I have aquired that didnt fit anywhere else. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Joe, Interesting that you have a 67 Landcruiser. Is it restored? How long have you had it? In my days right out of college, I bought my first new vehicle which was a 72 series 3 Land Rover. I spent lots of time out off road with it along with several friends who had the Land Cruisers. I always admired them. Didn't they have a Chevy 6 in them? Due to not having storage space (too many boats!!) and needing the money I with much regret sold the Land Rover in 92. The only great thing about selling it was I got almost to the dollar what I had bought it for! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I am partners in a 67 FJ40 with a friend of mine it is for the most part his project acquired before he even owned a single tool so it has been a learning process for him I basically consult on plans, provide tools and get called in when he screws something up or is worried he is going to.. I wouldnt exactly call it restored, I mean I am the guy with two CC's with engines that turn the "incorrect" direction.
It is not a chevy inline six but it is a very close copy of one. At the time japanese engineering was not quite what it is today, so they basically took a chevy engine and converted it to metric and they always rounded up making it a tank. This one was rebuilt about 5 years ago along with the trans, transfer case, and axles... so it is a pretty strong runner, its got a two barrel holley roundy round carb and has a junkyard HEI ingnition system both helped with reliablity. It is such a close copy that some parts like the thermostat housing can be interchanged with chevy junkyard parts, however things like cams, the solid lifters, valves, headers etc are not interchangeable and very expensive compared to building small block fords or chevys. It came to us mopar lime green and full of hacked in diamond plate and bondo from the firewall back but with 33x12.5 tires (no lift). About 6 years ago we paid a local body shop to reinforce the frame at the spring mounts along with sandblasting and painting the frame. Then came the two year rebuilding of the drive train. Two years ago we lifted it up by the frame instead of the usual axle and the front rear axle and springs pretty much broke off the frame at the front spring mounts. Upon further inspection the "body shop" applied a fair amount of body filler where metal should have been on the frame. Now the frame is repaired and boxed in from the fire wall back (my friend did pretty nice welding work but I would have ground down the welds if it was me) , there is a shiny new aluminum tub from the fire wall back, new front seats, we found some orignal center facing benches to restore for the back, and since it was apart it got all new springs shocks, etc. (2.5 inch lift). This winter it needs a power steering conversion and a new roll bar built and installed. There is also talk of doing something about the front end being lime green and the back aluminum. We did get a 4 speed transmission to replace the 3 speed thats on there but thats low priority until it breaks. We have the hard top and doors and they are restorable but as of yet it we have never run it with a top, probably never will. Anyway its a fun truck off road you don't run into too many of them around town and it has been a good learning experience for my now slightly more mechanically inclined friend but what a money pit. Around the same amount of time I bought and rebuilt a 1970 jeep universal parts for that thing were everywhere and dirt cheap, and while it was no where near the capabilities of the landcruiser the average person doesn't know the difference. The jeep I had fun with and made money on the sale, couldn't get half of what we have in the landcruiser if we sold it. I always liked the look of the land rovers but they have been out of my budget both to acquire and keep up, I always hoped to pick up a defender 90 someday but the way gas prices are going that looks a little less attractive every year. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Joe, It sounds like you and your partner in the Land Cruiser have got a project on your hands! Actually I'm surprised there is anything left on a 67. They were big time rust buckets from the start!
The Land Rover series 3 wasn't that expensive at the time. They were trying to compete against Jeep so the price was only about $500 over a CJ. Now since the Land Rovers as well as the Range Rovers are being sold to all the "soccer moms" they have gotten fancier and of coarse the pricing has changed! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
