RE: winter storage
store them completely dry with some paper towel & water absorption satchels (the ones you get in shoe boxes) in it. Storing them upside down also prevents any moisture settling out of the air pooling in the hull. Also spray corrosion X over any parts you don't want corroding too. I'm sure others have ways of storing boats too.

RE: winter storage
You've got the general idea, dry, and no batteries connected. The cold shouldn't make any difference as far as the electronics and motors go, usually. If it gets cold enough to freeze oil, I think I might worry a bit though. If it DOES get that cold, you might send it to me! yeah, right...
