For storage in the Cincinnati area, I'd recommend Rivertowne Marina. http://www.rivertownemarina.com/pricing--rules-and-regs.html They have a good outdoor storage area and you can contact Bill at 513-533-3000 and arrange placement in an area that will allow for sand/soda blasting of your boat's hull...
