Depends who you talk to. Some will say open front with the wall sheets about 100mm above the concrete to allow air to flow to cut down mildew on a wet boat. Others say it doesn’t matter and they like the added security of a full lockup boatshed. The main things are high enough and wide enough to get easily in and out and secondly, to be able to walk right around it in the shed with enough room to do a bit of maintenance on it without having to tow it outside.

Sounds silly but as well as all the details of your kit, the most important thing is vibes and the care factor.

  • How eager was the agent to give you what you really wanted?
  • How happy was he to take the time with you to really find out what you need to achieve with what may well be one of the biggest investments you’ll make?
  • Did he have suggestions on door height and placement?
  • Did he follow up with you?
  • Is he easy to deal with and is he approachable?
  • And lastly, if you have an issue, can you speak to someone at head office who will actually be able to help you or will it be someone who is Customer Service by name only.
