You're probably thinking of Glades Boatyard. A good bet for
DIY, but not
exactly SE Florida. You must be able to get under the 49 foot
RR bridge on
the eastern end of Lake Okeechobee to reach the yard. Many
(including quite
a few Canadians) think Glades is the best hurricane hole in
Florida.

We had some friends that used to leave their boat there, for the
summer, and travel in the motorhome. In the fall they would
return and take to boat to the islands for the winter.
