Duff-

I had a slip for my first year and although it was nice to show up and shes ready to go whenever I wanted, I realized there was no time for drop of a hat middle of the night decisions to go the next day. My trip are always planned according to schedule, weather and obligations. For that reason, the rack storage is the way to go for me. I call the night before for early am departure (before 5:00am so the guys can fill my spot with the guys leaving at sunup). Watching your boat on a lift is a little frightening, but with the right insurance and confidence in the lift operator, you get used to it. Bottom takes a little rubbing that's an unavoidable side effect from the fork wraps.

If you can swing it, do it! Best option with peace of mind. PMME if you have any other questions.
