what do storage units go for in your area?
 

Jeesh! I had no idea renting a storage unit was so expensive!! Just
got done calling the closest 2 storage facilities (in proximity to our
house) and the one is $100/month (5% discount 6 months paid in
advance; 10% discount 12 months paid in advance), and the other is
running a special of $85/month (normally $95) now thru the end of
August, I believe she said. This is for a 10x25 garage-type indoor
storage unit to store a 17' boat/trailer in. The one place also offers
outdoor storage for $1.50/linear foot/month, with a minum of $35/
month. Which is great, but not the safest/most secure. We don't have a
pole building or anything, and I don't really care to have a boat/
trailer parked outside my house year-round, so if DH ends up buying
this boat he's looking at, we need to figure out where to put it.

I haven't called the marina to ask them, but I'm sure it's probably
more expensive than the storage units!

Rochester NY, for a 10x20, $115 per month. That was the cheapest I found,
unless I wanted to drive out the the sticks, where I could've paid $80-$90.

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.

I was just quoted $229/month for an indoor 10'x30' garage-type unit.
I'd consider $100/month a very good deal.

A fisherman's marina near me charges $500 for "the season" for parking a
boat on its trailerboat lot. Several hundred guys do this. The season
runs from about April to the end of November, so the monthly rate is
reasonable. The rate includes unlimited use of two good quality launch
ramps. There's very little vandalism or theft at the place, because the
place always has guys there launching their boats or going to their
slips, and it is pretty easy to recognize who should be there and who
should not be.

If it is a nice-looking boat, you can store it on the edge of my
cornfield for $100 a month. Of course, you'll have to be prepared for
several families of critters moving in...

If you buy real estate on speculation of a high demand for the property in
the future you are wise to construct low cost storage units on the land
while waiting for the land price to go up.

Well, a conumdrum if there ever was one.

Prices around here (NE CT) for a 10X25 are about $85 a month.

Welcome to the world of boating.

The marina will be higher.

Just get a really good cover and cover support system for the boat and
get used to it being in your driveway.

Illegals huh?

what do storage units go for in your area?
 

well I found a guy who rents space in his barn for the winter, at 10'/
foot for the entire winter season. So we'll probably do that at least
from Oct-Apr/May. But during the fishing months I guess it'll have to
be parked in the drive, or off to the side.

That's not too bad. I'm a bit surprised at boat storage rates up
north.
Last year I priced boat storage around Charlotte harbor in Florida,
and found monthly rates of $2/ft outside, $4/ft inside.
With a 17' boat I'd get creative with space alongside the garage,
if you can.
