If you arrived at a marina with only
the conning tower above water, the length on deck would mean
substantially less berthing fees

You could also tie up the conning tower, leaving the rest of the boat
sitting firmly on the bottom, fore and aft, UNDER the neighbor's keels.
This would eliminate all that rolling motion every time the damned
fishermen waked the marina at 0400. Having the "cabin" submerged would
also be great in summer and winter! Without the hull sitting in the summer
sun, your cabin would stay nice and cool, totally underwater. In winter,
only the conning tower would be out in the cold, while the hull is ABOVE
freezing, sitting on the bottom....easier to heat.

If one of your neighbors wanted to change out his sonar transducer, you
could simply park on the end of him and "surface" the boat, floating him up
on some blocks on deck....a sort of floating drydock...(c;

We might even get HIM to help out with YOUR bottom paint costs!
