keeping a boat in erie

Some of the marinas on the bayfront used to let you keep a boat on a trailer in their yards for a fee and I think there is a storage yard on the way into Lampe.  Not sure if there is a waiting list or not or what the fees are, though.  But, I think you'll be hard pressed to find undercover, dry storage up there.  Maybe there is something.  
 
Don't think it would pan out in Erie due to the limited season length but the dry dock rack storage places, totally under cover, on the Texas gulf coast were always filled up with boats.  Call them, they get their large fork lift, pull your boat out of the rack and place it in the water, and you can pay for extra services like refueling and cleaning..

Would be nice to have secure indoor storage options 'mup there, but if there are any I'll bet they're really pricey... I did the Poor Richards thing a few times, it works well and I've never heard of anything being stolen there. Besides, we always hit PR before we launch anyway. They charge by the foot and you could cover your boat with a tarp if you want...
