Long term storage with tower down

Got the boat out of storage on 4/1/23. It sat in a horse barn all winter with the tower down and resting on the factory stops. I had the stops adjusted all the way "up" making the cable as short as possible.

Best I can tell there was no damage or long term lasting effects of storing it like that from Nov-April. Only real "wear" I saw was the imprint of the hull opening on the rubber "rattle ring" on the stops. Nothing at all to be concerned about.

Thanks for the help from those that said it would be fine. You were right!
