Default Boating Cost:NY Erie Canal and Area

Dock space and winter storage should be available at Cooper's Marina in
Baldwinsville (315 6357371), Sun Harbor/J&S Marina (315 622-1095), Cold
Springs Harbour (315 622-2211) and Pirates Cove Marina 315 695-3901).
There may be dock space only available at the Onondaga Lake Marina.
All of them should be able to quote you their summer season rate, based
upon the length and width of your boat and services that you require.
Winter storage will again depend on the services (Winterization, shrink
wrapping, indoor storage ) that you require.
You have mentioned "Old" and "Cheap". Nothing wrong with keeping within
your budget; but do yourself a favor: Contact a Marine Surveyor before
plunking down your money. (Ward Bury 315 461-8627 and Wayne Robinson 315
689-6854 are two that I'm familiar with)
Good luck and good boating,
Jim

Ok - I have my eye on an old cheap houseboat.
I KNOW it will cost more than I think - but how much? (A Lot I'm
sure!)
Besides the boat repair cost I'm having a hard time finding out the
following in Central NY:
(Know all prices are a range)
How much does it cost to bearth a boat?
By Season? Month? Week? Night? Day?
Only two things I have see are
1. $5 to $6 for day bearthing - but I really think that was for a
SeaDoo.
2. Free Day time bearthing at the Onadaga (SP) Park marinia.

How much does winter storage cost?

This is a small house boat about 25 to 30 feet.

I just Love the idea of puttereing from here to there along the Erie
and the lakes. Communting to work even. (Would need a smal 60 mph
moped too though.)
Now that Snowmobiling Season is over....

Thanks
