Boat storage question (UV)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #240 of 1340 |
Hi everyone,

For those of you without inside storage - how do y'all store your
boats? I'm thinking about UV damage over time. I was thinking about
a boat bag but would this add other issues like heat buildup in the
sun? The other thing with the bag is that I've seen wet gear on epoxy
boats in the sun cause clouding - so if my boat's in the bag and it
rains and then gets sunny....

Am I just worrying too much about all of this? I've stored plastic
and old beat up composite boats in the sun for yrs but I just dropped
a decent amount of $$ on a ww boat and would like to keep it as strong
as possible for as long as possible.

Thanks,
Colby
