What’s up everyone!

I'm new to the area and plan on running Lake Michigan this summer and doing a few of the CPC Runs. At this point, I'm struggling to find any dry storage for my boat. I've got a 2006 353 Fastech and most of the marina's I've talked with do not have dry storage for a boats over 26ft. Any suggestions?

I don't have to have indoor storage, but definitely need to get the boat out of the water. I have a trailer, but would like to have the boat on a lift or in Rack Storage @ a marina.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Corey

Are you looking in Ind or Mich? May be a few ideas in St Joe or further north for you. Dave

Guess I should have mentioned that. Really looking in the South Western Part of MI, East Side of Chicago, or Indiana. Don't want to get to far away. Thanks!

Are you looking for places to store your boat and trailer, and then you pick up & put in at ramp. Or do you need a marina w/ a fork truck large enough to lift you out for rack storage?

Try Doyne's Marine. I have my boat stored there. It will be on your trailer and includes ramp fee. Inside, if still available.

That's in Portage Indiana.

BL6- really looking for any of the above. I would prefer a marina with a Fork Truck and Indoor Rack Storage, but I'm pretty open to any setup.

Payton, I'll give them a call. Thanks for the Suggestion.

You may want to take a Sunday drive and check out a few ports.
In St Joe MI, you could talk w/ Pier 1000 or Pier 33, both of which will store your boat on trailer inside or out, very close to good ramps. No big forks.
To our north is South Haven, nice port, ramps not the best for 35', unaware of storage. South of St. Joe is New Buffalo, again nice port & town to visit, steep ramp, may be storage avail.
We normally head north, Holland, Grand Haven, etc. so can't you much about Indiana ports other than Mich City.
I've also got lots of room in my field!
