will be new to florida city life. where do you keep a ski?

crashnburn · 02-19-2008, 07:07 AM

my job is planning on moving me to jacksonville florida after living in nj most of my life. i've always lived with a garage or some space to leave my ski. even the lake i rode had ski docks where i left it during the summer. with the idea of a city life where do you keep your ski's without a garage? how do you flush them after riding? i've been trying to search for info but most information i get deals more with big boats. i can find storage but would they have access to water to flush a ski? i figure i'll rent for maybe a year to see how i like it and take time to find a spot to settle if i do. this apartment living will be totally new to me. thanks in advance.

I had to move into an apt last year as well. I actually keep the skii stored in a friends garage and flush it there as well. But I also just got a boat. I keep that at a storage unit. They have no water, so I bring the boat by the apt's car wash area. wash iot down and flush it out here at the complex, then back to the storage lot. So far no complaints, but looking to buy a house soon. Good luck!

After riding in salt, take your ski to a car wash and backflush it with the wand through the pisser. It works fine, just squeeze the trigger halfway (otherwise too much pressure). Then put your ski in a mini storage type of place.i

Find an apartment in Jacksonville that has garages. A lot of complexes here have garages and I would think Jacksonville would as well.
