Hi All!
I have 1992 Vista 265 http://duetautoltd.com/Germany/four_winns/photos/00.jpg and forced right now to save it on a open storage for at least two years. I try to found boat cover - but can't found nothing... Also, i even have no idea how needs to looks like boat cover for boat with arch. I'm on Texas, summers is hot and i need protect my bot paint ant seats. Please, give me any idea about this problem. And i will be very thanks if somebody explain me what maintenance i need to make before store it for two years.
Thanks
Igor

Have it shrink wrapped and stored inside. Preferrably in air conditioned storage. It will not be cheap for storage of 2 years. It might cost as much as 1/3 of what the boat is valued at.

Good Luck.

If you have to store it outside, shrinkwrapping is a good idea (in white if possible) but make sure that vents are installed to allow moisture to escape. Also, use several dehumidifier packs in the cabin.

If you're forced to store for two years I would think long and hard about selling. The cost of storing the boat, the cost of two years depreciation on the boat and then the cost of fixing all the things that dry out and break after two years of storage is not going to be small. I'd guess you're going to end up at a very portion of the overall value of the boat.

Good luck
Ben
