tige' has a new home

Scoot what is the height on your boatport? I am planning on buying one before winter.

The opening clearance is 11' - the total height at the peak of the roof is approx 12' 10". I have about 10" clearance above the anchor light on the tower.

When I bought my boat it always stayed wet, that is why I bought a shelter. I will try and get a pic this wkend. Looks very nice!

That is exactly why I got one. I have a lot of trees in the yard and even with the cover on I would get crap in the boat. And that forced me to have to cover it when it was wet to keep the trash out. It would take forever for it to dry and I would always have to deal with molding and related odors. Now I don't stress out if the boat gets wet, such as downpours/thunderstorms while we are out, water over the bow. It is a big stress reliever to know that I can just back it in there and leave it uncovered to dry.

Thanks for the comment.

Just got mine. Think I went a little too tall. Got free vinyl sides with it.

Looks good, and TALL. Will the vynil sides come farther down? Did get it through Carolina Carports or someone similar?

I have since the last post installed the shade tarps I got from Memphis Net & Twine and the boat has been uncovered in the port for well over 3 weeks now; and the best thing about it is, I haven't worried one bit about leaves or rain or anything else getting in the boat. What a relief. "And I bet everything is nice and dry."

I haven't got the sides yet. They are 26'x12. Got it through carport.com

I'm getting mine on Wednesday. I'll post pics after it's installed.

I finally got to put the boat under it's new shed this weekend...I finished up Friday by hauling and spreading 10 tons of gravel. I had it built so I can fully enclose in the future, but it would have to be put it on grade. It's 14' wide by 30' deep and has a 10.5' opening that clears the tower easily.

Cut down my too tall boatport.

Looks perfect!
