My girlfriend and I are looking to rent a dock for our boat on Lake Norman or Lake Wyile for the year (or up to Oct). We looked at several Marina's and found it a bit too much for us so I wanted to see if anyone is willing to rent out a space.
We would use it only to dock the boat (19 ft) and would likely drive it to the nearest landing to load all our stuff for the day - this way no one would have to worry about too many people walking through.
Or....does anyone know of a low cost slip or dry storage place on either lake?
If you have have a trailer for your boat and a vehicle that can tow it, then you can rent a space in a storage lot for about $40/month. The other advantage to this is you can buy your gasoline at a regular gas station and avoid the outrageously high gas prices at the marinas. It also allows you to boat on all 3 Charlotte lakes.
Most marinas are in the 1400+ for the year. I did a residential dock rental on Lake Wylie last year. It did have a lift which was real nice when it comes to keeping things clean. It did work out good for us and would consider it again. My wife was not crazy about the 300.00 dollar price tag per month but we used that boat more last year then the three previous years combined. It was just nice and easy to get in and go without the trailering and waiting in line at the ramp. I think 175.00 to 200.00 is reasonable for in water monthly storage. The 300.00 i paid basically gave me a boat in a garage out of water and the total use of the grounds of the lake front home. The homeowners were also really nice retired people. That helped alot also.
Why not check craigslist. I have seen some rentals there from time to time.
I've looked on craigslist, but some locations are way too far and other people just never respond. I also have an ad up on the wanted and boating section.

Definitly, I would prefer Lake Wylie since its closer to me...but a lake is a lake! You can email me at davewhiteabbott@gmail.com
I've looked at several marinas and the price ranges from 1400 to 2400, ouch! This actually isn't too bad but you have to do it as a single payment, and if you do monthly or quarterly payments the price jumps significantly.

Well maybe that was the correct price then. I am just waiting to hear back from her to confirm.
