I'm in Will's Hole Marina, Point Pleasant Beach, Manasquan River between Rt35 and RR bridge...1 mile from ocean. Floating dock. Hellacious current! shhhhhhhhhh....$2k...shhhhhhhhh guess they have a hard time keeping boats in all slips due to current, bridge, and tight channel.
I have been kicked around Manasquan River for years I was at Brielle Basin(RR Bridge) for years, started at $1800 slowly worked me up to $3600. Left for Manasquan River Club in Brick, west of rt70...long ride... $2400 slowly jacked me to $3200...Back to Brielle basin $1800 for one season then Hoffmans bought them and basically told me to take my little dinghy somewhere else. Found a bargain at Garden State Marina Rt35 Bridge PtPleasant Bch due to wicked current $1800. They booted me to restructure docks for lifts and bigger boats....
You gotta wander around during the season and see who isn't full, then wander around and talk to them when its cold and they are accepting for the next season
Oh almost forgot (tried to forget) I "saved money" $1000 for 2 seasons at Ocean Gate marina (Barnegat bay at Toms River) 12.5 miles to inlet 12 .5 back...25 mile trip minimum every trip!
I can say that even $3200 was worth being close to the ocean and not trailering and /or not having to go thru PtPleasant Canal or worse Barnegat Inlet...
