Winter Storage Terms and Conditions

Storage season will be here before we know it. If you want to store your boat with us, here are some things to keep in mind.

1. Review the contract and fill in any missing or incorrect information. You must SIGN the contract and INCLUDE a credit card number for all billing purposes (SEE #6). Fill in the REQUIRED insurance information at the bottom of the form as insurance is a MUST for any boat stored on the premises.
2. Indicate if you would like the boat to be stored either inside, outside wrapped, or outside unwrapped. The cost for inside/bare storage is the same price as outside/wrapped storage. Shrink wrapping is available at an additional cost if you prefer your boat to be inside and shrink wrapped. Our storage buildings are NOT HEATED, however, if you are interested in heated storage, please contact our service department for pricing and availability.
3. Indicate whether you will deliver the boat to us on your trailer, or if you will deliver it to our marina and we use your trailer to pull it, or if we are to pick it up at our marina with our trailer. There will be an additional charge for boats picked up at a location other than our marina. Call the service department for a quote. Also note that there will be an additional charge if your boat requires hoisting.
4. Mark any winterization work or other work that you would like to be done by Happy Days. If nothing is marked for winterization and upon further inspection we determine that it has not been done, we will do a basic winterization of your boat and you will be charged for the work. However, DO NOT ASSUME that we are going to do this. If you are doing your own winterization, please note as such. We do not have pump out services on location, so if you require this to be cone, there will be an additional charge of $100.00.
5. BOTH PAGES of the contract should be returned. A copy of the repair order invoice will be sent to you once the work is completed.
6. The form must be returned with a minimum deposit of 50% to hold your spot. However, if you choose to pay in full for the storage, you will receive a 5% discount (this discount DOES NOT apply to winterization costs! You will not be guaranteed a spot for storage unless the deposit is received. Because inside storage fills up quickly and is on a first come first served basis, it's best to get your contract and payment in as soon as possible. WINTERIZATION WORK AS WELL AS ANY ADDITONAL WORK YOU MAY HAVE REQUESTED ARE DUE 30 DAYS FROM THE INVOICE DATE. STORAGE WILL BE INVOICED SEPARATELY AND SHOULD BE PAID IN FULL BY NOVEMBER 30h.
   Any outstanding balances will be charged to your credit card if not paid within the above time periods.
7. PRO TOPS CANVAS is not an entity of Happy Days Boating, therefore, we are not responsible for any work provided by them. If you are in need of canvas work, please contact them directly at 419-573-9861. You are also not required to use them, as you are free to use any canvas provider of your choosing.
8. Please be as precise as possible when listing your Spring launch date. This will determine your placement inside the storage building. For example, if you mark a launch date of April 1st, your boat may be placed in front of one that is marked for a later date, and vice versa. If you call and want your boat earlier than the launch date, we cannot guarantee that we can get to it. Please give as much of a notice as possible if you are going to need this done, with a minimum of 10 days.

Call the service department to let us know when you will be bringing your boat in for storage. If you are leaving the boat at our service docks or at your dock in our marina, you will especially need to let us know it is there so it can be picked up in a timely manner. Leave your keys in the boat or drop them off at our service center.

BOATS MUST BE BROUGHT IN FOR STORAGE NO LATER THAN OCTOBER 31st unless other arrangements have been made with the service department. Any boat pulled after this date will be subject to a late fee of up to 50% of the storage cost.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with us with any questions you may have. We look forward to servicing your boating needs.
