  • Boaters

    Where do you guys go for indoor boat storage around DFW? I’ve called several and they are either terrible at returning calls, undersized, or overpriced.

            Suggestions from my experience...
            1. Ask if 24/7 access to your boat is available?
            2. Does the location have camera's or staff onsite certain hours if needed?
            3. Ask to walk the property to review its upkeep. See any damaged gates or fence on property? Check out the available spots for trailering, loading and unloading space conveniences?
            4. Contract? Month to month, 6 months, 12 months, etc... is better pricing available with a longer contract?


            I'm in East Plano here. Back in 2014 after a house fire I temporarily stored my 24 foot pontoon boat and trailer at the Plano Marine dealer on Ave K for a month. They expected 24 hr notice by phone before you could pick it up and no after hours drop-offs available. Their gates locked at 5pm. Those limitations got old real quick.


            So the next month I moved it to Coach Specialists of Texas - RV Repair (972) 516-6681 near Jupiter Rd and Plano Parkway. I paid $75 a month for an outside exposed parking spot for a 27 foot long trailer space. It was surrounded by RV Coaches that I never saw move in the 9 months it was there. I had 24/7 access thru a gate with a numeric access keypad. There were camera's everywhere. This place ran an RV maintenance garage on site so the lot was kept orderly. It's located 1 mile from I-90 so I could be at Lavon, Ray Hubbard or Lewisville lake in approx 1 hour. http://www.coachspecialists.com/rv-storage-plano/


            Other possibility - U-Haul
            The U-Haul location in East Plano at 14th St and Los Rios in 2016 or 2017 added a large covered carport style parking lot for Boat's and RV's. I've not been a customer but the times I've driving by this new lot recently looks at 75+% full so there may be spaces available?

                I solved the problem by keeping my boat on a lift in a private dock with a cowskin rug next to it. No more trailer to deal with.

                  That is a bit far up for me. I’m really hoping to be around Lake Worth or Eagle Mountain.

                      Depends on how long you leave them in there.

                            exactly. Get it detailed if you find it, please.
