Only downside is...need to plan ahead (by calling day before) if you want the boat before 8AM. Or if you forget something on board...kind of a project to retrieve it (sunglasses/phone/wallet regularly).
I think I'll start a thread in a few weeks, as people begin to get their renewal bills for slip/valet. Would be a quick, easy way for everyone to do a price comparison.

Price isn't the only consideration. The quality of the staff makes a difference too. I'll never set foot at Parker Marine after the poor customer service last year.
