    How much to store

    I know this is a common sense issue but i was just wondering how much "stuff" do you leave in a boat when it is in storage. I plan to store my boat about 10 miles from my home town.

    How long between fire ups

    I know that letting an engine remain idle for a long period of time is not a good thing. I haven't used my boat in 5 weeks now.
