Hi everyone!
The wife and I are looking to purchase a Yamaha jet boat. We're leaning toward a 19 footer but a 21 is still a possibility as well. We'll probably get one with a tower.
We don't have room in our garage to store the boat over the winter but I do have additional parking behind our house. I'd like to have some sort of covered structure in which to store the boat over the winter to protect it from the elements. I started looking at pre-fabricated structures offered at Costco, Home Depot, Amazon, etc and found quite a few that had large enough interiors and looked sturdy enough to handle our winters. However, I couldn't find any that I was confident had a door opening that was tall enough and/or wide enough to accommodate one of the tower equipped Yamahas.
We live in the Seattle area so our winters are fairly mild. We get a lot of rain in the winter, occasional snow (3-4" accumulation is our normal max but we can get up to a foot every 10 years or so), and a few wind storms every year with gusts up to 70 or 80 mph tops.
There are several canopy style structures that I found that are probably large enough for our boat but I'm not confident that they'd last through our winter.
Anyone else out there had any experience with canopy structures that you think might survive 3 or 4 seasons and protect our boat? Or better yet, has anyone found a pre-fabricated metal, vinyl or wood building that has doors large enough to get an AR192 or AR210 inside? I'd like to keep the costs down under $5K if possible.
Thank you!
