Chicago Harbor & Winter Storage Cost (Ending the season) 

nice boat

Hello Captain Arnold my name is Captain Rob I am a captain on the Washington State ferries up here in the greater Seattle Puget Sound area and I am buying a 2022 Bayliner VR6!! Thank you for having this channel and showing all the different features and how you use your VR six I’m sure it helps other VR six owners. One thing I would love to see is how you utilize all of your storage compartments not just the bow seats but the large area where the inboard would usually be and maybe the other compartments as well I plan on using the head compartment as a head and not clutter it with other items so women and children can feel good about being away from a restroom for a long period of time. Thank you again and I look forward to the coming boating season and possibly sharing videos with you from the Puget Sound area of the Pacific Northwest cheers!!

Great video. We have a ‘17 Vr6. We slip at Hammond Marina. And winter storage too($440). Thought about 31st. Wasn’t worth the cost to save 20 minutes and less amenities.

Love my VR5, Purchased used 2019 in 2020, got a great deal... 150 merc outboard.

Hello Captain Arnold this is Captain Rob here in Puget Sound Washington. We are purchasing a 2022 VR six so I’m very happy to see that someone like you is sharing helpful videos on the same boat. I’m interested in seeing more about how you utilize your storage areas and how you utilize your bow filler cushions. Do you have any accessory ideas for the Bimini we decided against the wakeboard tower and went with the same Bimini as you because we still will have the ski tow pylon for doing things like that which will suffice good enough and save about $4000. Thanks for hosting the channel again I look forward to maybe sharing some videos with you with our new VR six from the Puget Sound area…..

If you ever have rough water or heavy chop, I would be interested in seeing footage of how it handles it. I realize your on fresh water, but this boat would be a possible option for the gulf coast too. I'm looking forward to looking at the rest of your videos as I just subscribed . Thanks for sharing.

No kidding about breaking out another thousand

What is the name of the company that stores and winterizes your boat

Hey Arnold, why does the winter season end your boating? Is it bc of your cold Chicago winters? I'd like to buy one day but use it year round for fishing.

Hey I want to buy a boat for 2022 and have it in the harbor. What are the first few steps to do so? And is there a captains license I need or boating license?
