With both sets of parents down there and easy flights from central Illinois, hopefully more often than not. We look at it this way, we love the boating life and plan to stay in it. We really won't know unless we try. And, having lived in Central Illinois for 4 winters once before, I can tell you we will be looking for an excuse to bail and go some place sunny and warm.
If you like the Tampa Bay area, take a look at Home Port (my location). They are in Ozona, which is just North of Clearwater. Home Port is on the ICW just north east of Caladesi Island state park and east of Honeymoon Island state part. Hurricane Pass seperates Caladesi and Honeymoon and is an outlet to the Gulf. Our local MarineMax (Clearwater) is a good service center, at least for us, and probably have 100 + boats they service in Home Port and do complete service/maintaince for those that want and can affort it.
Home Port has fuel and pump out, has 24/7 security and a good food spot....Ozona Blue that overlooks the marina. When we want to hire someone we take them there for lunch/dinner at the Blue during the interview, has worked almost evertime!!! Our customers like the place too!!!

Where are you at in Central Illinois? I was born and raised in Peoria, IL, and still have a lot of relatives in that area.
