I do not have a garage, can i flip it upside down in the yard? I have a cover but i think it will not last long with snow and rain on it. I am not available everyday to keep the elements off of it.

Thanks,

when making reports on hulls. This is one company's recommendations...

Give it a real good cleaning and get a shrink wrap job on it. You have to keep all the water out because ice will break/ruin everything
