Follow this advice for how to store a boat long-term:

Put a vented cover on or wrap your boat, if you pick outdoor storage, which you may find at Cabela's, located at 8400 Hudson Rd, Woodbury. You could also visit REI, located at 1955 County Rd B2 W Schneidermans Plaza, Roseville, for other boating-related products.

It's a good idea to winterize your boat, as Minneapolis temperatures can get below 35 during the winter. First, flush and drain the engine, and add lubricant to keep it from corroding. If you're keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. If not, drain the fuel lines. Replace the engine filters and check the oil, hoses, clamps, and belts. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Clean and wipe down the inside and outside of the boat to remove moisture. Last, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.

Avoid storing a boat outside in the winter. Minneapolis's high humidity in the winter months can allow mildew and mold to develop in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Rent climate-controlled boat storage to be fully protected against high humidity.

Yes, you should get insurance. Your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy most likely covers potential theft or damage while your boat is in storage.
