How to store your Hornbeck
How you store your boat is key to it's longevity. UV exposure along the hull and moisture on the wood are a boats biggest enemies. A boat should be stored upside down, off the ground, with its weight evenly distributed; ideally inside.
This can be accomplished in many ways.
Inside Storage
​
If storing outside, place in a shaded spot and cover with a thick, durable tarp that is
loosely tied down, protecting the boat, yet allowing for some air flow. It is best to tie the
boat and the tarp down independently to protect from gusts. Again, keep the boat off
the ground and if storing in a snowy area, regularly remove snow to prevent
damage from excessive weight.
outside Storage
Keep your boat safe
​
Deter theft by storing inside if possible. If you must store your boat outside, keep it hidden, covered, and secured with a sturdy cable lock.
