Hi!

I am hoping to get opinion(s) on signs posted in Marinas.

We are medium sized marina in a fairly sparsely populated area on the
Intercoastal Waterway.

We have very few signs posted other than the obligatory "No
Trespassing" sign so we can call the local law if we need to.

There has been a proposal that we add significant signage the has all
the "No's" on them.

No Fishing from the piers.
No swimming.
No Trespassing
No Parking unless member or guest
and so on.

There seems to be 2 schools of thought on what these signs will mean
to prospective slip buyers. If we post lots of signs up and down the
slips.

1. Wow! "These guys run a tight ship! My boat should be safe here."

2. Boy! There must be a lot of problems to have so many signs! I'm not
sure I would be comfortable keeping my boat here."

What would your impression be?

In actual practice, other than fishing from the piers, there haven't
been a lot of problems so I am really just asking, what creates a
better image for the marina. Lots of signs or few as possible?

I would really appreciate any comments.

Thanks!

My marina has one big sign which covers most everything. Also, the rules
are spelled out on the back of every contract.
