How do you store the big "blow up" toys and other stuff!
 

Over the past 2 years It seems that I have acumulated atlot of "crap" for
the boat. Alot of them donated by the neighbors for taking them and their
kids out to play.
Right now I have
3 - 3'-5' tubes
A Big Mable
A Great Big Mable
Several smaller 1 person tubes.
2 wake boards
3 pair of skis
2 knee boards
almost a dozen life vests of various sizes.
about 5 tow lines and just other various other "boat stuff"
I store the boat in my garage.
I have 1 shelf w/ a pole under it where I put the vests to dry when we are
done for the day.
I have cleaning products on another shelf.
What do you guys do about the inflatables? When we are done w/ them I
normally deflate them and let them dry then fold them as best as I can. The
problem is they just end up in a pile in the corner.
Anyone have any good way that they store these things? Do you keep them
inflated?
The big PITA ones are the 2 bigger tubes that have the blatter inside w/ the
nylon cover. When they are deflated it seems that they always come out of
the cover.

How about the wake board and skis and whatnot?
These I normally keep on the boat - but would like a place to keep them when
I dont need to take everything with us.

Any ideas would be great.

(One I just thought of would be to fill them w/ Helium and see of they float
and just store them on the ceiling!!)

Thanks,
Rob

Whoever plays with the toys deflates them - always.

At home they are folded and stored in the big Rubbermaid containers.

Sounds like you need to have a garage sale!

You need one of these:

http://www.rubbermaidproducts.com/Me...+Storage+Sheds

Put the shed outside adjacent to your garage. Deflate the toys and store
them in the shed.

And get an Ebay account and sell the excess.
