$15k for a the season? It had better come with a boat to use!

I have 3 slips, I'd happily rent them if they are bringing that much!

WOW! Just WOW! I would doubt they will get anywhere near that. I have a 54 foot slip in Laconia that I rent out for less than half that amount. Maybe I am the dummy!

Let me know when it's available. Maybe I'll get a bigger boat. LOL

Newbie to the forum but thought I would chirp in. Paying $10,300 for my slip this year. Just to give a prospective of prices out there. This is for a 30 ft sea ray, no amenities. Just happy to have a spot, in scheme of things it isn't a lot compared to the rest of boating, but yeah wish it was cheaper, wish boating in general was less expensive but you know what they...

Ok, so's just a little off-topic, here, but still on-topic, here, on the high, high, high price for your boat slip at a marina! .....

How to beat the high price for a boat slip and still hit the Lake Winnipesaukee, big lake, waters. Don't want to pay the big bucks for a boat slip, but still want to hit the waters in/on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee!

Well ...... did you know that a stand-up paddle board is considered by the U.S. Coast Guard to be a paddle "vessel" just like a 30' Sea Ray for example is a "vessel", and is a low price vessel for hitting this big lake, Lake Winnipesaukee.

All you need is a roof rack on your car and it costs $2.00, 8-quarters/hours, to park, unload, and launch your sup from a paid parking spot at the beach parking lot at Weirs Beach, on the Weirs channel, and very close to the open water and outer swim rope, out front the swim area and over towards the Mount Washington cruise vessel at the sandy beach at Weirs Beach. ......

Is even cheaper at $1.00, 4-quarters/hour when you park it a short distance away at a parking space on the nearby Lakeside Ave. So ..... one dollar/hour or even two dollar/hours is way, way, way cheaper than a boat slip at a marina ...... plus the sup is a great paddle and balance, aerobic workout and a good way to keep from getting too FAT because it involves exercise while YOU is out in a vessel on the big lake, sharing the water with all the other vessels, out there. ....

Welcome, searaylife.
I'm curious where your slip is, if it is for the season or 12 months? One just came on the market at MVYC for $170K. B14, I heard.

Thanks

I would rather not say where, maybe they read this forum and didn't want it posted. I really am happy to have the slip. It is perfect for me. I am able to use the slip for the summer I don't have much use for it in the winter. 😂 It does not include winterizing if that is what you mean.

Thanks for pointing that out, I have no interest in a condo slip, buy it and keep paying fees, dealing with HOAs, their costs and all that fun.

I wouldn't be so quick to reject the idea of a condo slip. I had a slip at Mountain View for over 20 years. When I didn't need it anymore I rented it out because it was in a great location, out front between Mountain View and Silver Sands, backed up to the beach.

The taxes were in the $1,000 neighborhood and the condo fee was $2,000. $3,000 per year looks like a bargain now based on today's slip rental prices. And, no additional cost for winter storage was a part of that. Once you own a slip you will always have access to it if you choose to use it.

I had a 34 foot boat in it (37 OAL) with a 12.5 foot beam. At this time renting a slip for that would probably run somewhere above $8,000. In my opinion, if you plan on boating on the lake for the foreseeable future, and you can do it, owning a slip is well worth it.

Well said. In other threads, it appears winter storage can be several thousand dollars, so year round is a big bonus.

Must be I'm missing something. A 36' slip at MVYC is probably half that amount, depending on bulkhead or finger dock, and it includes winter storage. One can argue about the various amentias at YC's all around the lake, and which is "premier".

Someone dreaming...Nobody will pay that. Even the unlimited length and width slips aren't bringing that. I am not sure who owns it but wonder if its the same person that wants $168k to sell one. None have ever gone close to that in GYC.

I had a boat at Gilford Yacht Club a long time ago and I have been there several times in recent years. I owned a slip at Mountain View for over 20 years. Mountain View is by far superior for everything from the beaches to the view.

But, if you are trying to get $15,000 for a season you have to say something to make people think it is worth it. It's all about marketing!

The $15k slip is now down to $7500 and still not rented.

We've had a couple marketplace posts here for slips, one of which never responded to me—I've gotta think that was a last-ditch effort by a non-forum-member looking for any place to potentially rent.

The crash is near, methinks, so y'all please keep an eye out for a used '20-'22 Sea-Doo GTX170 someone bought and can no longer afford for me?!
