The Adirondack PakBoat is in a friend's crawlspace. It is our primary boat until the Whitehall is finished. The Whitehall will have a shutter plank party this Sunday.
One hanging from the garage rafters, one on the trailer, one upside-down on the trailer boat, one folded up beside the wall closest to the trailer (a PortaBote, my only factory boat), two building in the basement, and one in Ohio waiting for me to go pick it up in November.
For six years I kept my catboat on the side of my house behind a 6ft fence. Even had a concrete slab poured to keep her and me clean while maintaining her. Then we got a new HOA Board and the 16" of the tabernacle visible above the fence was no longer acceptable. The violation letters came and we had to move her away from home. After several months we came to realize this ended up being a very good thing as now our catboat happily lives at a sailing club about 100ft from the private boat ramp, mast up, always ready to go. It is one step closer to retirement and more time on the water.
My Maine boat, a Gloucester 19, is on a mooring in Sebago Lake. (See my avatar 😎). My Florida boat, a Boston Whaler Harpoon 5.2, stays on a trailer at a CubeSmart storage facility that is five minutes from the boat launch on Lake Weir where I mostly sail her.
I have two boats on trailers, both in storage places, one in Vancouver on the Columbia (Jimmy Skiff 2) and one in Tacoma to access the Puget Sound (ComPac-16). I need my garage space for shop space, and don't have outdoor space for parking a trailer. I had a Catalina 30 at the Marina for a year. Nice to have it ready to go, but once winter came, it was a nightmare, with the cleats ripping out of the rotten old docks in storms and setting my boat loose, rain finding it's way into the cabin, etc...Much happier to have the boats sitting indoors until I need them.

One is hanging from the garage ceiling, one is in a 5 x 20 storage unit and the other is on a rack inside at a marina.

My “other” is at the marina but pulled up onto a float. The boat easily slides in and out and I don’t need bottom paint.
My primary boat is on the hard in Port Townsend waiting for me to purchase!

On a lift at my brother in law's lake house.
Now that is a great brother-in-law.
