    In a post a little bit ago I think wannabe said they had an older bow rider, that's probably what he is referring to.

    On storage in Florida, any of those options look cheap. On the saltwater, a slip is atleast $200 without a lift and about $350 with a lift. High and dry storage where they use a forklift to store and launch the boat will run about $200 and that drives your insurance through the roof because those things are not safe in a storm. Storage on a lot is about $80-100 for a "secure lot". The cheapest inside I could find was $150, but that was more of a carport with no door so your boat would still get plenty dirty. That is why I bit the bullet and gave up half of my backyard and re-built about 50 feet of fencing to store it there. My neighbors call it threading the needle when I back it in because it is down an alley about 30 feet only about 8 inches wider than the boat and I have to fold my truck mirrors in when I get to the gate...I don't do it at night.

      After a year or so in the Driveway, our is now in a High and Dry, dry stack storage.

      It is more than a little bit scary watching them pic up our baby with a forklift.

        I don't trust any of the high and dry storage places here. My friend has a center console they have ripped the t-top off of three times so far. They repair it every time, but that still sucks!

          The one here only has two forklift operators. They are both close family friends. They have both sworn to protect our Boat.

          Still, I know accidents happen so I am prepared, but still nervous. We put the boat away in November for the first time, so next summer will be our first full time experience with the dry stacking.

            I push a button and my boat folds up into a brief case. I then transport it to an underground lair, with the brief case chained to my wrist. Once it is in its secure nuclear-proof vault I unchain it and place it on a pressure sensitive shelf. It is then locked up and guarded by sharks mounted with lasers. It works pretty well, unless I accidentally leave a bag of chips in the boat, then it is a real bugger to clean up.

                            Probably not. You may have one that came with a digital camera that is the same thing. Its just a mini USB.
