My boat is in a covered slip so don't have to really worry about it, but this may help.
Do you have any ideas on covers? Besides having it wrapped proffesionally, is there another route?
Re: For those who leave their boats outside (winter)
In my experience a tarp over a breathhable cover does not make it airtight, it moves some in the wind. I do have structure underneath that keeps rain and snow from accumulating, that is paramount even though I did not mention it. The tarp just keeps the sun (and birds) from taking its' toll. here
I use a cheap plastic HD SILVER tarp from HomeDepot and the aforementioned PVC frame, custom made w PVC Ts on the bottom of the uprights w pipes T'd out on the deck to keep the stem to stern ridgepole standing straight, more Ts and 90s at the ridgepole, 90s at each end. If you make it tall/steep enough, snow should slide off and I have beaten on mine to get ice and snow to come off easily. I leave the front and rear open for airflow and tightly bungee the oversized tarp, that hangs past the gunnels, to the trailor. You might need to pad/cover the sharp corners somehow to keep weight/wind on the tarp from ripping it. here

So, can boats be stored outside in the winter?
If you plan to store your boat on the driveway through the winter, make sure your neighborhood supports it.
The deluge can damage the boat wrap and flood the vessel. [links]
A 35% – 50% charge while storing is ideal for maximizing the life of your battery. Make sure to top it off every so often when it dips below this range. here
Alternatively, you can rent out one of the many publicly available self-storage facilities. Sometimes these are even the cheaper route if your boat will fit inside the facility! Sometimes they will even allow you to take out your boat or perform maintenance whenever you want!
Your battery can drain itself and die out over the course of winter. Make sure that you disconnect it and keep it in a safe place. To preserve the battery life, make sure that the battery isn’t fully charged or fully empty when you store it. here
Then during a freeze, all of that water can freeze causing other significant damage!
You can find generally reasonable rates for storage from dry rack facilities. These facilities store a lot of different boats in a small area, so they can offer very good rates for long-term storage.
The main advantage to having the boat inverted is zero possibility of accumulating leaves and trash which would plug the drain hole and then the boat fills up (which is bad)
A good tarp and support bows + checking occasionally does the job just fine too.
I need to be able to store it on the trailer in the winter due to very limited space. Somehow I need to figure out how to get a 2x4 across the bow at the gunnels. I can also place a 2x4 across the rollers (between the tires) as well. It's just the front that will be the challenge. here
Instead of trying to balance it, or rig up cross members of 2x4, just flip it onto the trailer, then place an upside down 5 gallon bucket under each side of the bow, just behind your registration stickers. [links]
now pick up the motor and put on the motor stand in your garage or shed here
The trailer doesn't look like it will hold her upside down without some support under the gunnels.
3 points is enough. The one board across the bunks/rollers and the nose of the boat sitting on the trailer tongue or cranked up with the winch clipped to the bow eye. Cargo strap around the boat and trailer close to the board. done.
