Kahn's Storage Solutions
Gated outdoor RV and boat storage in Fortville with on-site owners and 24/7 gate access.
Fortville sits close enough to Geist and the upper White River that a lot of garages around here have a boat parked beside the truck. Problem is, most driveways weren't built for a trailer. Two storage facilities in town list boat storage, and four more sit within a short drive. Both local spots average five stars and run 24/7 gate access, which matters when you're launching early.

The two Fortville facilities split into one outdoor spot and one that handles boats and vehicles together. Neither offers covered or indoor boat storage, so plan on your hull seeing weather. That is normal for this part of Indiana. Sun does slow damage to gelcoat, vinyl and tires, and a good canvas cover is cheaper than upholstery work. Ask each facility about the surface under your trailer, since gravel and packed stone drain differently than pavement. Kahn's Storage Solutions has three reviews and a five-star average. Flatrock Storage hasn't been rated yet, so call and look at the place yourself before you commit. Two of the two local facilities offer 24/7 gate access, so neither locks you into business hours.
Check gate hours first even when a facility advertises round-the-clock entry. Confirm the code works for your schedule and that lighting is decent if you tow after dark. Walk the route from gate to your spot and think about backing a trailer through it. Ask what happens when someone blocks the lane. Insurance is worth a call to your agent. Some policies cover a boat in storage, some don't, and marina or storage paperwork rarely settles it for you. Also ask about the surface and drainage after heavy rain, since a low corner can leave tires sitting in water. Pull the drain plug before you park and leave the bow up. A battery maintainer keeps the starting battery alive through the off months.
If the two Fortville spots don't fit, four more facilities sit within a short drive, and the wider Indiana listings give you room to compare. Fortville is close to Geist Reservoir and the White River, so plenty of boats around here are smaller runabouts and pontoons rather than offshore hulls. Size matters when you're picking a spot, and so does tongue weight. Winterizing is the one chore worth doing early. Indiana cold will crack a block or a manifold if water stays in. Fog the engine, stabilize the fuel, and pull anything that freezes. Then cover the boat so snow and ice slide off instead of pooling on the cover.
Two facilities in Fortville list boat storage. Four more sit within a short drive if you want to compare. Both local spots offer 24/7 gate access.
No. Of the two local facilities, one is listed as outdoor and none as covered or indoor. Expect your boat to sit outside, so a quality cover is worth the money.
Gate hours and lighting, the surface under your trailer, drainage after rain, and whether your insurance covers the boat while it sits. Ask about the lane width for backing in.
Kahn's Storage Solutions holds a five-star average from three reviews. Flatrock Storage has no ratings yet, so a quick visit before you sign is a reasonable move.
