Unless I'm mistaken, if you have a slip at Sheps (and most places?) you have to store a boat. If you don't, you lose your slip - and there is a waiting list of people ready to take it.

Garcia. You are correct and it has been so for many. many years.

Both Shep's and Y are at capacity for slips and valet with waiting lists. You don't want to do the work and trailer away from the lake like Maxim then you gotta pay.

I would love to trailer home at the end of the season and have plenty of space to store the boat. However, the slip is pretty essential during the season; trailering is not an option as multiple people coming from different places come and go all season. So, the winter storage and slip simply become part of the annual expenses, just like taxes and maintenance...

Why is it that marinas raised prices when there is a waiting list and lower prices when there are empty slots???? You figure the other way around!

I did not get my bill yet. $600 last year for inside storage, winter prep and bottom wash. I can't complain. Other service(s) on boat are extra and done during the off season. I get to use the boat early and late in the season.

I used to trailer and store my boat in Franklin. Storage is cheaper the further you travel from the lake.

It appears you failed Economics 101. I'm sure there are simple explanations on this thread.
