Hi all.

With a new boat in the mail, the question arrises: How do you store your boats in your shop?

Ideas I have had are: a sling from the ceiling hanging it up, resting upright on the wall on a shelf, with a clip around the bow, etc.

These are mainly monohull speed boats.

Photos would be really useful!

thanks for your help,
cowana

Cowana,

My boats remain on their stands all the time, even in the off season.

Only difference for the off season is I remove the engines, take them apart, clean them, pickle them and store them in a zip-lock after.

Although I don''t have the space to have them set out like that, I could make them new stands, and attach them to the wall (sort of like shelves). Thanks for the picture.

Keep your ideas coming!

Tables, lots and lots of tables. Two workbenches, an 8 footer, two aluminum folding tables and an old dining room table. I tried shelving units but the bigger boats wouldn''t fit in them.
My wife really hates it when she has to move them off the washer and dryer.

Build yourself a good boat stand and you can just leave your boat on it when not in use. On the bench or the floor.

I had racks above my bench when I had a smaller workshop space which did the job. I have since gained more space and made some basic racks with 4 x 2''s which works fine.

My wife told me that my boats are "outstanding". So they are out standing in the shed.

Thanks for the laugh Blizard.
I only have 2 runners. 8' PT & a 3' Amsterdam tug. The black stuff are the speakers & amplifiers for the boats.
And build 60 to 70 boats each year to give away. Lowes is a great help to me.

I leave mine on the bench during the year and in a crate when I am moving from house to house (every three years)

The Navy makes me move every three years. Fortunately they pay me well to move.
