Out of curiosity, what do you pay per foot/month to stay there?
For 37 feet, it's $73/ft for the season, nominally April 1 to Nov 1.
Land storage for winter is limited to first come. Water storage is
plentiful. Floating slips with water and 30 or 50 amp power. Rates are
lower for smaller boats. Give them a call at (718)478-0480.
That sounds pretty reasonable for New York. We currently have our boat
on the Texas gulf coast and are paying $185/mo for a 38' non-liveaboard
slip with fresh water and 30A 120V AC service. If If we stay aboard for
more than 5 days straight during the month, it is counted as liveaboard,
and there is a $55 surcharge for the month to cover the increased
utilities.
Given your shortened season you are paying about $9.13 per foot per
month vs our $6.32 per foot per month for a liveaboard slip--not bad
considering the difference in locale.

Don't come to Ft. Lauderdale. Marinas are $850/month for a 37'. Private
docks behind homes on the river and canals go for $450/month and up for
non live aboard.
