Does anyone have any recommendations for a resort with marina either North or preferably South of the Tampa area? I'd be willing to go as far South as Naples or as far North as Crystal river. We took a group of boats South last year and stayed at Tween Waters for 3 nights (which I liked), but...

I saw this article this weekend. They moved around all the channel markers going into the Manatee river earlier this year. I wonder if the captain was relying on his chartplotter in the dark to stay in channel...

I just got back my boat from my mechanic, I had to have the motor pulled due to a rusted oil pan that was leaking. While it was at the shop I had a bunch of other work done (new starter, plugs & wires, dist. cap and had the out drive pulled and new water pump put in). When I picked up the boat...
