Boat Storage

Hi everyone,

Could you please help me out, I'm in a bit of a pickle.

I had storage for my boat sorted, it was outside storage for a trailered boat and now some numb nut at the yard has told me after taking my deposit that they will be replacing this space with a container because it is more profitable. Tango Whisk Alpha Tango

Does anyone have and idea where I can go and not pay the earth because all the boat yards and dry stack guys are unfortunately a bit out of my budget. Any suggestions would be great.

I am looking for yard storage in the Portsmouth, Southampton, Gosport type area or maybe just a little further out.

Cheers to anyone reading with a good suggestion

They might be able to help.

Drivers? Going by some of the hunks of crap in there (alongside the many beautiful craft!) I can't imagine they charge the earth!

So your saying that storage is not cheap at Drivers?

I always thought it was very competitive!

I can't quite believe you posted that!

There have been people who've paid good money for some of the worst 'crap' ever seen there, but then you'd know that, wouldn't you.
