Lots of the trailer size crowd also store their boats near a ramp. When you
look at the cost of leaving a boat in a slip, it is large. More bottom
paint and cleaning as well as the cost of the slip. Marina Del Rey, has
boat storage about 200 yards from the ramp. So someone can easily dump the
boat in the water for a couple hours fishing. Lots of ramp areas do the
same thing, nearby storage.
That is clearly not what is happening around here, Bill. Up until this
year, the "trailer sized" slips were all occupied, and there were
waiting lists. Those smaller slips were mostly vacant this year. It
was a huge and abrupt change.
They still insisting that you buy 25' of space for 20' boats?
That seems to be the norm around the Mystic area and northwards.
