Default Trailering vs docking...

So I知 about to take possession of my next boat. It痴 a hydra sports 2400CD. It痴 sitting on a tandem aluminum trailer that needs a bit of work. My close ramp is less than half a mile drive. The next one is about 4 miles.
So I want to trailer the boat and my wife wants to rent dock space. Both have advantages but the main one I see is the boat/motor will last longer if hosed down and flushed after every use. Vs dock space which if I知 lucky, I知 looking at a minimum $1,500 plus for the season. In addition, most private dock space by me is in canals, which are pretty stagnant. Tons of errant charge flowing and the zincs get eaten up pretty quickly as well as the hull growth.
What do you guys prefer? I have little or no practical experience trailering, but I figure I値l pick it up.
SO??

Oh, I have a relatively narrow street and I値l be backing into a relatively long and narrow driveway.
