In Sacramento, CA I pay $65/month for an uncovered, outdoor spot to
park my 17' boat at a storage place in a not-so-good part of town 3-4
miles away from where I live. While I have insurance, I constantly
worry about it being vandalized despite the storage grounds being
secured and supposedly having video surviellance, etc. Not sure what
an indoor unit might cost...afraid to ask, but I'd gladly pay
$100/month for a garage-type indoor unit.
