Looks like I might luck out and get a slip down in Warwick, the cost might equal a new trailer about 2200 a season, still undesided but it's only 45 min from my house!

BD, not to be critical........a slip is really nice to have but, how does $2200 per year equal the cost of a trailer? At some point at the end of the day, you're going to need a trailer on top of the yearly $2200.
I'll tell you what I'd be concerned of; the cost of gas at the dock this coming season. :o Probably going to be $3.00/gal or higher. :'( I'd rather shop on the street.

And with no trailer you are stuck there!! No trips to the cape or any were for that matter!!
You here that they are having a killer year some place and you won't be able to go!
I will be getting rid of my old trailer if interested?? Good from slip to home a couple of times a year?? maybe a bit better then that but if that is all you sre going to need for?

I kept my boats in slips for 15 years, when I used my boat 5 or 6 days a week year round. For many years, the slip was behind my house or down the street. Used to be I could just tie up at day's end and go home without loclkn anything or even takin the key out of the ignition. By the time I gave up my slip (also 15 years ago), I was strippin the boat every day and lockin what I couldn't take off. That, weather worries, and a lack of mobility for the slipbound have made me a trailer boater all the way. Add CB's point about gas prices to the list.

Nowadays, you could not pay me to keep my boat in a slip. She sleeps safely in my driveway.

Well I have the trailer now that it's on for trips out of the marina but it's very small. Anyway for adding larger axel and spring, or is it more cost effective just to buy a new tandem?Macojoe what have you got now?

Bluedog, if you look around you should be able to find a suitable used trailer for 1000 - 1500. New for 2200 - 2500. Then sell the old for whatever it is worth.

[chumbucket]

Yup. That's what I'd do.

bluedog, You should check out the guys on the link that I posted for MJ in this thread earlier. Coastline Trailers in Falmouth. I don't know how they are now, but they gave me a decent quote a couple years ago when I bought the trailer for my Grady. At the time, I just happened to walk into a deal where if I jumped on it right away, I could get a good price on an E-Z Loader that was already on a freight trailer on it's way here. Someone canceled, so I grabbed it.
