thats kinda why i am seeing if there would be an interest in a heated storage place...<br /><br />i live in maine, it gets damn cold in the winterHeated?<br />Thats gonna cost a pretty penny.
$6-700 a YEAR? $3-400 MORE for heat? For $700 you can get a pretty nice metal carport. Or a couple years worth you could build yourself an entire freakin' garage...Originally posted by captkid:<br />thats kinda why i am seeing if there would be an interest in a heated storage place...<br /><br />i live in maine, it gets damn cold in the winterHeated?<br />Thats gonna cost a pretty penny.and i notice a lot of people getting damage due to freeze... the average indoor storage around my area seems to be around $600-$700 for winter storage, in an unheated building...<br /><br />if you had the option to store in a heated, say 50-55 degrees, to prevent any possible freeze damage would you pay an extra $300-400 for the storage?<br /><br />am I crazy for thinking people would pay the extra?

dwci97 that is my thought/hopeBuild the facility and you will fill it with boats in the winter.
Chief 101, you have a great ideam about placing an ad, my only worry would be I dont have a facility to put the boats in yet, and what if they want to come check it out? I know i wouldit's a good idea but the heat would be very expensive as you know. Do your homework and figger out exactly what you will have to charge for your service...do a business plan.<br />One way to do local research...place an ad taking deposits for the limited space you will have. If you get enough folks fighting for the space then go ferit...just a Thought
this is VERY true... maybe dwci97 can help me out with this one since he has a facility where he stores boats<br /><br />I want to thank you all for your honest (some of you may think I am CRAZY, and I plead the 5th)you are gonna need some good insurance
I forget the name of the program but I think it is called SCORE, administered through the SBA. Retired business people will help you complete a viable business plan and apply for SBA funding, if you want it. And if you are a woman or a minority you might even get the funding. Not so for white males unless there is an excess on funds after the 70-days cycle, and there seldom is. Note: its not actually fund but a government guarantee to repay your bank loan if you dont, so banks throw money at people with SBA guarantees.Originally posted by Chief 101:<br /> CaptKid... If you write up a business plan ... you can take it to your local small business bureau and or banker and get some viable input.
