Some of us appreciate this Forum and are not desirous of its termination because of needless slander-type posts.
Food for thought - Merrill was presented one day with a re-evaluation by Gilford that in effect made him an overnight millionaire. He could have sold to a developer and retired in style without all the aggravation that is part of owning a marina. He made the decision to provide access for many people without the need on their part to purchase a home from a developer. If slips are so easily had, then why are some seeking help on this Forum for one - money (not enough), attitude (unpleasant)? Only the person seeking a slip knows the real answer.
Try walking a mile in Merrill’s shoes before you are so quick to malign him with hearsay.
Just my opinion; yours may differ...

I have to agree with GWC. How many new marinas are there on the lake in the past decade????? The money is in developing and that is a fact. Look around the lake. It hurts to see all the undeveloped land become eyesore.
All marinas that I have dealt with have some fault. But think about the pressure that they are under as they have to deal with whopping high property taxes and work on a seasonal basis. Enviromental laws add to the pain. Although I have to agree with the laws, it cost money to bring a business to compliance.
In Florida, I have seen many marinas sold to developers. Marinas are at a premium along the east coast. We will feel the same pressure if our marinas close up and developed to condos.
