Vertical Storing of Jon?

[clemmy]

Hello,

I’m going to be between current house and a upcoming place for about a year or two. I need to put a 1236 Lowe John in a large shed, for now, I can only do it vertically. I’m wondering if there is a proper technique for this? I’m not sure if just leaning it for a year could cause issues/metal fatigue? Also thought of maybe using a couple large hooks and hanging it, but again worried about pressure over time.

Any experience with this?

Thanks,

Craig

Metal fatigue is from repeated bending, so not to worry. It will be fine.

Good luck on your move.

Won't hurt the boat unless you have the transom sitting on the ground or concrete you will get pitting / corrosion of the aluminum in contact with the ground. Put it on blocks and it will be fine in that position for 100 years.

But not pressure treated blocks

I see them at Bass Pro all the time standing on end.
