When they first built Shilshole Bay Marina back in the early 60's, the
moorage rate was 35 cents/foot/month. One of the old time brokers on
the lake likes to recall how about a year after Shilshole opened they
raised the rate to 50-cents. He said there were howls of protest, and a
lot of people went back inside the locks to look for moorage at 35-40
cents. I could stand 50-cents a foot. Heck, I'll pay up several years
in advance. :-)
Per month huh? Interesting.
I pay $75 per foot per season, May 1st to November 1st which works out
to $12.5 per foot per month or $400 per month.
I didn't put a lot of time into it, but I couldn't get the figures to
come out no matter how hard I tried - the gains would be marginal in
any case unless you really jacked up the prices which, as you said, is
what is happening.
Hey, trailer boats are looking better and better. :)
Join the club Tom.. my Sandpiper 565 doesn't cost me a cent, sitting in
my driveway this cold, dreary, wet May.
Man, you got that right. It looks like I might get out this weekend -
hopefully.
Later,

I hate when people store their boats and RV's in the driveway. Makes for a
tacky looking neighborhood. Livermore, CA. Years ago passed an ordinance
prohibiting such. Good law. Put it behind the fence! In a side yard.
