DFW Boat Storage

[addfw]

Hey guys, after a decade and a half of dragging my wife to boat show after boat show, I am about to take a seat at the captains chair! I am getting an AR 210. Can anyone recommend reasonable covered parking around the DFW area?

Thanks

Glad to have you on board,

That's a pretty big area with a lot of storage facilities.

Where do you live?
What lake will you primarily use?
what year is your boat?

Be sure to check out our FAQ tab for lots of great tips and if this is your first boat make your first day on the water is without wind or a crowd.

cant you use your garage ?

I am in the Carrollton area, off Plano Pkwy. I am pretty new to the area, so I havent got a lake nailed down yet. But, its a new 2019 AR210. Garage is a typical suburb house built by a mega builder. Short and small door.

I am okay with simply covered parking, but everywhere I look there is a waiting list.

Your garage has to be at least 20 feet right ? If so you can put it diagonally or you can raise the front by a couple of feet you should be able fit it in.
In regard to entrance I am currently fighting with my HOA and the city of Frisco to change my 2 garage doors to a single one. If I am successful I will post on the forum, but the fighting might no one for a while

In regard to lakes, we like ray Roberts ( 45 minutes from you ).

King Brothers in Lake Dallas
Anchor Storage in Lake Dallas
Or just suck it up and get a covered slip at Lake View Marina. A 30' slip will cost you about $290/month. I think they have 21' slips for around $220
Edit** these are based on Lake Lewisville boating

The ramp is real nice too, especially for someone with my skill level

I had an 18x26 all metal garage with 10 foot door installed at the end of our driveway. Makes a perfect storage area for our 195S. At current covered storage rates in this area the garage should pay for itself in about 16 months.
