Looking for any suggestions on the best way to store my boat for my next deployment. A friend said winterize it and store at any indoor facility.
It's a 2007 with a 150 Optimax.
Agree? Disagree? Other ideas?

I would agree that boat be winterized and then go a few steps further.
1. Remove batteries and have someone put trickle charge in these once each month.
2. Remover Wheels/Tires and have Trailer on blocks to prevent flat spotting tires and bearings.
3. If you suspect that there might be a mouse problem then also place mothballs in open type containers in all compartments and on top of deck to repel any critters. Given half a chance they will devour your wiring.
