I am new to boating and am looking at cuddy cabins by Stingray in the 20

24 foot range. All of my boating will be done in the Chesapeake Bay.

I would like to keep the boat in a boatel, but a slip near the Baltimore
harbor is much closer to where I live. How much extra maintenance would
be
required if the boat was kept in the water?

Any help is appreciated!


Mark, I keep my boat, 21' Proline W/A, in a boatel in Deale. I live in
Alexandria and drive 45min every time I want to use it. When I see the
hassle
people leaving their boats in the water must go through every year, I'm
very
happy that I chose the boatel route. The costs, at least in my marina, are
not
all that different. Slips are a couple hundred a year cheaper, but the
maintenance eats that up.
