How do you store your RIB?

[Doc O Rock]

This year we bought a RIB inflatable and a Merc 6 hp. We have loved having it behind our 380. What do you guys do for winter storage? Leave it on the swim platform and let them shrink wrap over it?

Mine goes home on a trailer

Ours stays on the platform with a cover for the rib and engine...

Carter, not much chance of snow and ice where you are though.

Ours is in the basement of our home.

While not a rib (air deck), I keep it in the basement as well.

We have rib and store it tight to ceiling of the garage, using a pulley blocks and the car parks under it.

LOL Doc! Just thought I'd insert that for a little humor - you guys with winter probably didn't appreciate it though - sorry!

I do a similar thing. I purchased a 115v electric winch from harbor freight. Hook it up and toggle the pendant. Keeps it high and dry for the off season.

I like that idea. I have some bicycle lifts that are still in the box. I plan to buy a platform that can lift yard equip for the winter. I hadn't thought about lifting the dinghy, but it will go up now too.

Don't worry, we have a sense of humor. BTW it's 48 degrees right now. Fall is starting way to early.
I like the idea of putting it tight to the garage ceiling.
