I would advise you to stay away from boathouse. I stored my boat there for about 8 months a couple years ago and wont go back. Given that I'm super anal about my boat, that place doesn't have fully closed siding on the street side of the building so a lot of dirt and dust blows through there and my boat would be pretty dirty every week when I took it out. There is also a lot of birds that nest up in the rafters so expect bird poo on your boat everytime. Also it is a tight fit and they pack the boats in there pretty good and use a small tractor to move them. After they hired a new guy and I had to direct him which way to turn the wheel when your backing a trailer I moved mine to another storage. The other issue is youcan only get to your boat when they are there. If you want to come in later than 5ish on a weekday or weekend then you have to leave your boat tied up in the water overnight. I wasn't a fan of this and didn't want my boating schedule running on someone elses time.
I moved mine to J&D ministorage about 1/4 mile down the road from wimpys and love it. $140/month and I have my own locked unit I can access 24/7. The place is a little rough on the outside but for the location and price it works for me.
