For winter storage and to keep mold away, I know folks use Damp Away. I've also heard that some people use kitty litter as an alternative when storing the boat for the winter. Does this work and if so is it better than calcium chloride?

Assuming one of these methods work, could you reasonably expect to "dry" a completely stripped hull void of all hardware and drain tubes over the course of a winter if sealed in plastic and stored indoors?

One other though comes to mind in addition to all of the above is setting a dehumidifier in the boat with a hose drain coming out of the boat. Would this work?
