Stacey. Can you put a cover or tarp over it and tie down then maybe 2 x 4s on top or something else heavy to hold cover/tarp down?
Can you get it shrink wrapped? That would block insects and critters. here
We have our pontoon stored for the winter but always empty everything out the put moth ball all around the interior of the boat, under seat, etc. it is shrink wrapped also. Never had a problem since. You could also put the mothballs in cans with holes. Also do this in our boat house and works great.

Maybe it's best to remove my panels (which are thick and have a pebble finish) and repaint them. I think that would be cheapest and might even be easiest since all the rivet holes are already there. There are no dents, cracks, etc.
Vinyl panels for the interior of your boat will add eye appeal and provide you with a tough wall surface. They work well to cover up the dings and smudges that grace the interior walls of any boat after a season of hard use. They also provide the walls with good protection from the elements and other sources of damage. Best of all, they can be removed for cleaning and are easily repaired or replaced if they become damaged.
Trim the vinyl sheeting by laying the plywood on it, face (the part of the panel that will face into the room) down. Mark the vinyl with the china marker so that the vinyl, when cut, will be 1/4 inch larger than the plywood to which it will be attached. This allows you to turn the edges of the vinyl over the edges of the plywood panel. Notch the square corners of the vinyl so that there is no overlap. [links]
Mix the epoxy and apply a thin coat to the face of the plywood. Position the vinyl and use the paint roller to roll the vinyl flat onto the plywood. Apply the epoxy to the edges of the plywood and wrap the vinyl over the edges.
Your bee problem is possibly a cause of old warping and rotting siding. All that wear and tear on your siding will set you back in electric bills because your siding has poor insulation. Now is the time to fix that problem by replacing your siding with brand new virgin vinyl siding that can withstand the test of time.
I’m talking about an insect that’s fuzzy, winged, black and yellow, and makes Winnie the Pooh’s favorite food. [In case you weren’t aware, that’s honey.]
Bees tend to be active during the day, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to walk around and see where they live. If there are several gateways to the bee underworld, mark them with colored tape so you’ll be able to find them later. Helpful hint: use neon, or at least noticeable colors, because you’re going to be coming back at night. more
Unfortunately, stories about bees performing an air raid and turning a family picnic into a nightmare with their devotion for diving into meat and sweet things are all too common.
Great….just great. But don’t fret: if wasps, bees, or hornets have built some sort of nest in the siding of your home, you can do something about it. Bees will usually sequester themselves away in overhangs, cracks, window and door frames, and under siding—basically, anywhere they can build a cozy nest.
The first thing you’ll have to do, of course, is to locate the nest (or nests). Chances are unless you have x-ray vision, you won’t know exactly where they are, but you can take a clue from your six-legged friends. Take note of where the bees are entering and exiting your house. Here’s a hint: it’s probably not the front door…remember, bees don’t have opposable thumbs, so they can’t operate a doorknob. more
Either way, we’ll show you several ways on how to get rid of gnats below. You’re sure to find a solution that works for your specific problem.
Traps are one of the most common ways to get rid of gnats. You can buy one or make them yourself using certain scents to lure them in. We have some of the most effective gnat traps below.
It’s time to learn how to get rid of gnats. There are many routes you can take and each situation is different. Sometimes a trap will work and other times you’ll need to use chemical sprays.
