yes Damon, i do keep my H14 in the water, I have no other choice at my lake since i do not have a lake front property so i could take it out. And i do not have a trailer so i took my whole boat apart. I am planning on keeping the hulls under a over hang facing down and cover it with a tarp. And keeping the mast tired to my fence and cover it with a tarp. The frame and everything is in my basement. Is that ok?
