So....Im wondering if I should just start a "stupid question" containment thread? lol
Im currently storing my boat outside in my front yard( just had it 3 weeks so far) with no cover. It rained last night all night and soaked the boat....but it did dry for the most part throughout the day. Well I was outside just now...and all the floor is soaked from all the gathering dew/moisture in the air. I was thinking about buying a boat cover at Academy....but would that help? Figure it may even make it worse?
I cant store it in my garage since its too small....and I dont wanna store it in a storage facility because I worry about theft. and since its an old boat thatll prolly be costly to insure, while not likely helping that much if stolen. Cant see the insurance company cutting me a check for what I paid/have invested in boat...figure its like with cars and theyll try to get as close to bare minimum of bluebook/"fair" market value....which isnt much for a 2004 PT 175 with a 50hp 2 stroke.
Is there any solutions out there? I saw the bilge wizard....seems like a good idea. Its just sucking out/moving around air. Figure that may work for me? Let me know....I have some of the wood exposed on my front deck since it needs recarpeting....and the wood felt moist :( dont really wanna have to buy a new casting deck at this point since the marine plywood isnt cheap, plus the cuts. Hoping to keep it in good shape to last me another year or so...hopefully longer...but worry with the way it felt with all the moisture in the air tonight.
