slip or mooring costs

I am curious about slip or mooring costs around the country. Please
reply telling the costs in your area and whether it is a slip or
mooring and what that provides and if there are any other costs.
We are off the Potomac River in Maryland. The slip is about
$12/ft/quarter (i.e. for 3 months) on a yearly contract and the
electricity is metered. (Since it is from a co-op, we get the
electricity at cost.) The water is free. Pumpouts are done at the
dock (they have a little golf cart that comes to you) and are $5 @.
(Transient rates are about $1.00/ft/day with $25 minimum. Weekly
$4.00/foot Monthly $8.00/foot (open) $12.00/foot (covered). There is
a charge for electricity. There is a discount from November to
March.)
They have four showers per sex in two different locations, laundry
facilities and a pool.
There is a yard with both a marine railway and a travelift. They do
work on boats (Mechanical (Diesel and Gas inboard, I/O, OB),
Electrical (AC & DC wiring, electronics), Fiberglass, wood and metal
fabrication and repair, Painting, brightwork, and AWLGRIP) or you can
DIY. There is no extra cost for the boat hauled v.s. in the slip
(although they do charge to haul it of course)
The marina is very protected, but it takes us only about 15 minutes to
get out of the creek into the Potomac (not even very many crab pots)
where we can sail, and takes about an hour to get down to the
Chesapeake Bay.
There is a restaurant and parking, and the marina has various events
in the summer. The marina will lend you bikes or a truck to go to the
local (within 5 miles) store. There are also two adjacent restaurants
that you can walk to from the marina.
