Worrying about checking the lines daily, keeping the battery charged so the bilge pump works and the boat doesn't sink, water seeping into the transom through an unsealed screw or bolt hole, corrosion, oh the corrosion.......

Maybe you could get the slip and still use the trailer on weeks when you wont be using the boat as much. That would make me feel better.

I hear ya. The slip I'm getting is available through the community and they are limited in number. If they find that your boat is not in the slip at least 1/2 the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day then you risk losing the slip. I do intend to put the boat back on the trailer when I know I won't be using it for awhile or if the weather is going to be bad so paint that can stand to be in and out of the water is what I need.

Like generic and name brand drugs, they may have the same composition at different prices.

I want the cheapest that works.
