Neighbor hosts provide safe, cheap boat storage in Chillicothe. Find affordable boat storage rates in your neighborhood.
The size of boat storage you need depends on the boat type. For example, Class 2 boats should have at least a 20 X 40 storage unit, while Class A boats (typically fishing dinghies) should be able to fit in a 10 X 15 storage space. If you rent indoor or covered boat storage, make sure to measure the boat's clearance.
You can find places to store a boat near you. Type in your zip code, use the map, or access the list view to see convenient boat storage throughout your community.

Here's how to prepare your boat for long-term storage:
If you choose outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat wrap or boat cover, which can typically be found at your local boating retailer.
Chillicothe temperatures can get below 35 in the winter, so it's a good idea to winterize your boat. First, flush and drain the engine, and protect it from corrosion by adding lubricant. Drain the fuel lines or, if keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. Replace the engine filters and check clamps, belts, hoses, and the oil. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Remove moisture by cleaning and wiping down the outside and inside of the boat. Finally, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.
Try not to store a boat outside in the winter. Chillicothe's high wintertime humidity 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.
We highly recommend getting insurance. Oftentimes, renter's or homeowner's insurance should cover potential damage or theft while your boat is being stored, but check your policy to confirm.
