Skip, We and many, many other folks can relate horror stories about
Marathon Marina which we beleive has now changed their name. Marathon
Boatyard is a good alternative but get all quotes in writing. Keys Boat
Works in on the Bay side and can also haul boats but deep drafts might
be restricted.

Oh - right I forgot about Keys Boat Works. That would be the best
place if you can get in. I know friends that are there with a boat
like ours and their boat has a draft of 6'6".

( With a 15 ton and a 50 ton travelift we can haul boats between 20'
to 67' in length and 19' in width)

Marathon Marina is also known as Marathon City Marina. It is in Boot
Key Harbor and administers the moorings.
http://www.ci.marathon.fl.us/index.asp?NID=26 As far as I know it has
no capacity to haul boats.

This is different from Marathon Marina and Boatyard (full service
boatyard, 50-ton travel lift)

or Marathon Boatyard.. http://www.marathonboatyard.com/ (60 Ton
Travel Lift and 20,000 lb. Forklift)
