My dock is full. * :-)


"Biased" news? *or are they talking about slip rent in general and
across the board?


Don't really know for sure but boating activity in general is on the
decline due to the economy so it wouldn't be surprising if marina
traffic is down also.


This sure looks like a bad time to try to sell one of those
"dockominiums" that was going for $300,000 a few years ago.

My niece seems to stay pretty busy up there in Ridge Md
but I think most of her business is trailer boats.http://www.buzzsmarina.com/


Several marinas started construction during the boom but never
completed up here in NW Florida. Many slips available.
