Boat Storage and other questions?
Ok I was wondering. We live in Gerogia in a canal that is preety deep that leads out to the ocean and I was wondering a couple of things. Well first we were gonna buy a 60 ft boat and were going to build a big 100 ft storage garage.
Ok 1. How do you clean the under belly of your boat?
2. How do you store your boat?
3. Can you have your boat in the water all season in Georgia?
WOW! What a great idea.
Yes, you can keep your boat in the water all seasons in Georgia.
Storage garage? What for? Why? and..How in the world do you plan to put a 60′ boat in the garage? You would need a 30 ton lift, and the lift would need to be sitting on 30 tons of reinforced concrete… It would probably be cheaper for you to buy your own Marina.
I think you will soon discover that what you are "thinking" of doing is extremely expensive… the crane (or lift) alone will be a small fortune.
It would be much cheaper to simply have a dock area dredged out so that you can "dock" your boat off the main canal, and then, if you want, put up a "pole barn" across the area you had dredged out. That way, you don’t really need a lift unless you just want one.
How do I store my boat? I’m in Galveston, Tx and live full-time on my boat. When I’m not cruising, I’m in my slip at the Marina on Galveston Bay. My boat stays in the water year round, only comes out when it has to, and my son (he has a boat next to mine, and I actually dive in the water with the power washer wand, and use the power washer to clean our hulls (as well as the rest of our boats..
Happy and Safe Boating,
