::)Hi Everybody.
Looking at purchasing a boat (14ft trailer boat) but I need somewhere to park as I live in a townhouse. currently residing in Capalaba. I cant imagine I am the only person with this drama. Please let me know if anybody knows of where I can park the thing went I am not fishing. I have rang ....... Storage and they want $90 a month surely there must be something cheaper avail.
Thanks

Hi Shane,

$90 a month is not too bad. The local storage place down the road wanted $50 per week :o :o :o :o :o

I'm still faced with the same dilema as yourself, my boat has been sitting on the front lawn for nearly 3 months :o :o

Happy hunting

Craigie.

Yeah $90 a month for them is cheap as chips... try Horizon Shores down at Jacobs Well.

I pay $140 per month to store mine under cover and in a secure environment (full lock up)!!! :o ::)
I was offered several at around $90 per month but this was open/outside storage .... I figured that was no different from storing it in my yard so what was the point. Paid the extra $50 per month and am happy (got the last avail space ;D)
I check out Horizon Shores and they offer a pretty good deal ... around $380 per quarter from memory .... includes a few services like them launching it for you and cleaning your outboard before storing it again. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
The trouble for me was, it's miles from where I live :-[ so I looked at other options otherwise HS is a top facility. They store 2000 boats down at the marina and everything looks to be in top order. Check out their website!
Good luck,
Herby

So Herby where did you end up storing yours?

I searched for ages and eventually gave up.

I think Samson Marina on Beveridge Rd at Thornlands were looking at getting into the storage caper.

Theres a place called Port of Brisbane Storage near Lytton Rd (heaps of old buses etc in the yard - near the overpass - can't miss it) that do outdoor storage with 24hr access for about $20 a week.

Nu Marine or whatever Cleveland Boating services is now called may do storage - old ownwers used to - need a high trailer though as access ramps are real steep and the traffic sucks on Shore St.

Theres a little storage place on Wynnum Rd just after the BP at Tingalpa - blink and you'd miss it - but there's boats under tarps in there as well.

Or you could get a mate to consign your boat for you - then go down each weekend masquarading as a prospective buyer - for just one last test drive before you buy... won't cost a cent!
