Boat storage down South
I had this conversation with several people last night who, if I recall said they could sort out storage that wouldn't cost the earth. However I had a shandy too many and can't remember much else like who said what and how much it would be. This brings to my question......

I would like to keep my RIB down here in the Portsmouth area, on it's trailer. The storage place doesn't nessasserily have to be next to a slipway - I can tow it a few miles to a slip. Can anyone recommend anywhere which isn't going to require me to apply for a second student loan under a dodgy name with a fake passport?

Tim

Spoke to him and he (or one of his employees) was very helpful. They do a winter package which sounds good although it is pricey. The other issue if I go with him is that I will still have to find somehwere to store my trailer.

Another possibilty might be to rent a garage or something

calshot would be around 400 a year i suspect for your boat and the place has 2 slipways, but might be a bit of a drive from you, but will be a lot cheaper than ken browns
