While your taking your power squadron course, start asking around about the
avalabilty of a slip for the size boat your considering.. Often there is a
several year waiting list for slips in So. Calf.

If your lucky enough to find a boat that is advertised as having a slip
available, before you purchase, check it the marina will allow you to assume
the slip lease.
