I have the opportunity to purchase a dock at our neighborhood private marina. We have a 08 185 Sport and currently trailer. Both the public ramp and the marina are less than a 1/2 mile from the house. Time is not currently an issue. On many occasions, I don't take the trailer off the truck for days. When we decide to go, all I need to do is remove the canvas, put it in the garage and pack our needs d for the day. Within less than 10 minutes,
I can be in the water and under way.
Now if I opt for the dock things would be slightly different. First we pack, then drive the truck down to the other end of our street and unlock the gate to the marina. Re-lock the gate behind and proceed down the steep dirt road that requires 4x4. Next is pulling the canvas and packing it in the boat or truck. All that would be left would be plugging in the electronic, start and untie the lines.
Sounds simpler but, now I'm not sure about the security of the boat. The marina is unmanned so, there's a whole array of things that could happen. As for the three years we've lived here, there been no issues but, there have been issues in the past. Also, there are currently several slips unused and there's not a lot of action from the current members. There are only 6 docks with 12 slips. I do have permission to use one but, haven't at this point in time.
Let me know your thoughts,
