Where in SD? When I used to take my other boat down, I stay at a house in
Mission Beach and paided a bunch to store at Campland?

p.s. What are these Don White posts of 2-3 meg? And in a text group.

Because I pay less than $40/month for a spot that's 500' from the launch
ramp. In San Diego, slips are hard to find, and pretty expensive. I'd like
to be able to just cast off my lines and go, but can't afford it.
Also, I enjoy the ability to launch at other places, and take my boat on
vacations.

We have always docked, except when we had our 16 foot tri-hull at the
beginning of our boating experience.

So now we have a 20 footer (actually closer to a 21 footer) on a trailer
with no dock till next year.

Our experience so far...............ramp fees, congestion at the ramps,
attitudes at the ramps, cost to trailer the boat to/from the ramp. damage
to
the boat from trailering...............yikes.

We will dock the boat next year. The $900 dockage fee is well worth it
for
us.

We can always load the boat on the trailer for maintenance and winter
storage off site from the marina.

So why do you trailer your boat?
