Anyone use a canoe storage bag? I have a Mad River Kevlar with a painted gel-coat (I think) and I’m thinking to store it under the cabin on a rack. The canoe will be out of the rain and snow; the bag will be for UV and dust protection. Is it okay to store this boat out in the cold under these conditions? Would the bag create moisture issues? I don’t have a separate suitable building for storage, so this is my next best solution. Thoughts?

Hmm… that pretty well answers my question. Thanks!!
I will def be bookmarking that site and doing some more reading.

I've had no issues storing mine under our deck using the Whitewater Design Tyvek covers sold at Boundary Waters Catalog/Piragis. There's a picture in my gallery of the setup. Works well for our limited space situation. As long as you're well off the ground it should be fine. Rodents chewing on bits might be a concern.
Only draw back here is twice the Carolina Wrens have built nests on the seats.

Redleaf Designs makes some nice covers. I own two that are made for my specific mfger and model (Winona & Northwind) and I am very happy with them:

I’ve used the tyvek bags with success but they do wear out after a while if wind moves them around. The Redleaf designs bags are really fantastic. We have one on our tandem sea kayak. Each bag is custom made. They have the measurements for many canoes and it isn’t hard to make measurements for your own boat. I’m planning to get one for one of my solos.
