You'll always find low-cost boat storage through Neighbor. Keep in mind that outdoor boat storage rates are the cheapest.
The size of boat storage you need depends on the boat type. For example, Class 2 boats will need at least a 20 X 40 storage unit, while Class A boats should be able to fit in a 10 X 15 storage space. If you're renting covered or indoor boat storage, make sure to check your boat's clearance.
You can find boat storage all throughout Bismarck. Access the list view, use the map, or enter your zip code to see convenient boat storage throughout town.
Here are a few popular features for boat storage:
Here's how to get your boat ready for long-term storage:
Use a vented boat cover or boat wrap, if storing outside, which can typically be found at your local boating retailer.
You should winterize your boat, as Bismarck winter temps can get below 35. First, flush and drain the engine, and add lubricant to protect it from corrosion. Drain the fuel lines or, if keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. Replace the engine filters and check the oil, belts, hoses, and clamps. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Clean and wipe down the outside and inside of the boat to remove moisture. Last, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.
Try not to store a boat outside in the winter. Bismarck's high wintertime humidity can increase the odds of mildew and mold developing in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Rent indoor, climate-controlled boat storage to be fully protected from moist air.
Yes, it's recommended you have insurance. Your renter's or homeowner's insurance policy most likely covers potential theft or damage while your boat is being stored.
