"John H." wrote in message Plus, my new boat has arrived. Now I have to decide what to do with it. I'm considering doing nothing with it, not even starting it, and just putting it in indoor storage until March or so. That'll run me about $150 per month. Any ideas?- Hide quoted text - I was hoping the factory would delay delivery for about four months. I'd like to take it out, but then I'd have to go through the 'winterizing' hassle. This way, the boat will undergo it's first check ride, with the dealer, in March. He got a three year extended warranty on the engine, so the three or four month won't make much difference. I had thought of shrink wrapping it, or just parking it in front of the house. The shrink wrap would cost about $250, whereas the boatel storage will cost about $600, total. You are going to take delivery without a test run, and then store the boat? I'm not sure that is a good idea. Before it delivers a new boat, my dealership checks everything out, fills up the engine oil tank, and then tank tests the motor for an hour to make sure it is running okay and to partially complete the break-in. I don't think this is unique to my Yamaha dealer. If yours does this, too, you'll want to at least fog the engine and put preservative in the fuel tank before you store the boat. We will do all this in March. |
