Paid for my first slip rental. I've only had trailer boats before, this one is too, but thought we would get more use having it in the water all the time. Just waiting for some better weather before we get her in the water. It's gonna be a great year

Have a great season. There are benefits to being in the water.

Enjoy your boating season. We have always kept our boat in a slip. It is worth the extra money for us to be able just get in her and go. Besides, we stay overnight on her every weekend. - Tom
As for us, I figure the price of the slip is almost entirely offset by the fuel savings to and from the marina. We have a 55 mile drive one way, and even if I was to dry store the boat at the marina, I still have to make the round trip in a 16mpg pickup versus the wifes 32mpg car. It doesn't take too many weekends to see the advantages, all of your gear is ready to go at a moments notice. Just grap some groceries and your ready, nothing to pack and unpack, very little prep at home. ENJOY!!
nice ,,salt water or river ? enjoy, i live in bradner i need my boat at home. my boat spent its whlole life moored in the gulf islands previous owners left it all winter, the batteries went flat no bilge pump she rotted ,i restored, KEEP IT DRY ,, check it often..
I figured it was way cheaper to keep in the water since I would have needed to buy a tow vehicle, insurance and fuel to tow it. Now its only 2 tows a year that my buddy will do for me.

Keeping it at The Riverhouse in Ladner. Sitting in freshwater, just a short run to the Straight. No worry about batteries with shore power. I'll be checking often its only 10 minutes from my work on the way home.
I have the same boat - same year. If you ever need anything, or you are getting ready to some work on it, PM me if you want to talk about anything. I just did risers and manifolds and I do all my own normal maintenance.
Congrats on a wet slip - you will love it. I do both - my yearly fee includes a slip and dry storage with daily forklift service.
Congrats on the new boating life. I know my first slip was a little intimidating as everything is new as a boater. You will meet a bunch of great people and the convenience is priceless. In fact it really is a whole new boating experience I am sure you will enjoy.
Cheers, Hans

This is first year as well. Not only have a slip but, a cuddy too. I agree with the fuel costs and the convenience of having everything as stated by others. Enjoy it!
Couldn't wait any longer. Put the boat in the slip today after a quick shakedown run. Was a bit chilly but nice when the sun came out. Spent 6 hours working on the boat. Felt great working while on the water than on a trailer in a farmers field.
