Home for my boat

Hi Guys, I recently purchased a double axle trailer for my 23" Carolina sportfisher I'm building. The thing is that the trailer has a 24" Coronet cabin cruiser on it. The idea was to cannibalise the old girl and cut up the hull and dump it.....that did not work out so well. After towing her home and having a good look around it dawned on me that I can restore this boat to her previous glory - to loud protest of the family. She fills up half my yard and I do not have space to put her until my other build is finished.
Does anyone have an idea where I can pull her off the trailer and store her for a few months. I'll tuck her in and make sure it stays neat.
I'm in the Benoni area - any idea's/help welcome.
Thanks
Antonie

Howzit Antonie, firstly, :welcomesea: and secondly, sorry I can't help with the storage dilemma. Thirdly, it would be pretty awesome if you could chronicle the restoration project and keep us all posted on the progress.

Hi, thanks for the welcome. Yip, the plan is to blog the restoration. I'll post the link once I get into that. This is the link to my current build before I can take the old lady : http://forums.bateau2.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=43970&hilit=dream
Timing is for a splash by Easter next year.
Cheers,
Antonie

I had some feedback from the commercial storage guys - seems like a open storage spot for around R500 pm is the current rate. I'll keep on looking.
