We are from NL Canada and are only too familiar with the winterization process, however, we have zero expense preparing a boat for summer storage in the Florida climate. Although we have been aboard for a number of years now, we have finally decided that this will be the last time transiting the ditch north and south. When we return from the Bahamas in the spring of 2023, our plan will be to store the boat here in Florida but have a number of questions for the group:
1. Other than bleach, cleaning and vacuum sealing, what do others do to prevent mold
2. The boat will be on the hard either on grass or tarmac, what considerations should I take into account when deciding on which is better
3. Wrapping the boat does not make sense to me as I think it will trap moisture. Any conflicting comments on this?
4. Bugs - I have heard of Homezone as a product, but have zero experience with this product. Comments?
5. Exterior protection - any considerations here
6. I am considering a dehumidifier draining through the galley sink, any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance for any advice on the above and have a safe winter boating season!
Best regards
