Storing Neoprene Vests, Wakeboards, Rafts for winter

Anyone have any tips on storing Neoprene lifevest, wakeboards and rafts for the winter time? I'm up in NJ and it gets freezing... leave them in boat? inside?

Thanks ! !

Bring all of your lifevests and cushions home. Rinse them off to remove any salt from the vest. Clean up any mildew with OxiClean, hang them on coat hanger to dry. Store in a dry area. Clean out the boat with OxiClean boat soap. Let all storage bins air dry, keep storage areas open for the winter. The wakeboards and skis should not be damaged by the cold, but mildew can be a major problem if you let the storage areas remain damp.

Salt Water is hydroscopic and will pull moisture out of the air, making it a idea area to grow your own mold culture. It is amazing how much mold can grow over the winter. So make sure you flush out the boat completely.
