I am about to embark on a new boat adventure. I heard that many clubs
and such have minimum lengths for boats too. For instance, my friend
has to have a boat with a minimum length of 20 feet or 21 I don't
remember, to have a slip at his marina. The reason I ask is I am
trying to decide on what size to get. Most of my boating will be
trailer boating, and I had been looking between 18-20 feet. However,
if in the future I decide (read "can afford") to have my boat in a
marina, I don't want to lose out over a foot or two. Do your marinas
have minimum limits and what are they? Thanks, Scotty

Marinas around here often have 30-foot minima, but that doesn't mean
you have to have a 30 foot boat. It means you have to pay for 30 feet
to get a slip.

Ask which they mean.

In either case, you could make a bowsprit for docking out of a mop
handle to bring it up to length. :-)
