Appreciate all of the input, I'll definitely look into the places
mentioned. I actually live on the upper east side of Manhattan and had
the chance to get out to City Island earlier this year. I spent a day
walking around the island trying to get a feel for it, didn't seem like
a bad place. I noticed that Minneford Marina had outdoor racks for
boats but I'm not sure what sizes they can handle. However, it did
seem like the marina had lots of boater activity and decent security.
I didn't see any other racks on City Island. I'm open to both indoor
and outdoor rack storage so if anyone thinks of anywhere else, please
let me know.

Even with the best security, I'd still remove electronics mounted on
brackets and stash it somewhere. Thieves manage to get around the most well
designed car alarms, so a boat is easy pickins.

And they *love" chips for chartplotters.

Don't go home without 'em.

Since you're on the upper east side, check out the World's Fair Marina.
I'm not sure if it's still called that. It's the marina on the Grand
Central Parkway, just east of LaGuardia Airport. It's 5 minutes past
the Triboro Bridge.

If you choose City Island in the Bronx, you can head uptown and cross
one of the free bridges (3rd Avenue, Willis Avenue).

You could always stay in Manhattan. The 79th Street Pier charges about
$95 per foot for year round storage. There are also marinas in Jersey
(Hoboken and Jersey City) and in Westchester (New Rochelle). I don't
know which of these may have rack storage.
