I was at one of the local marina's yesterday getting my boat. During that time I watched an unending series of phone calls and visits from people who had decided they "needed" their boats in immediately and had forgotten to send in their paperwork. I watched one guy brashly pull out a wad of hundreds and ask "How much do I have to pay to get my boat in today? 3 times the going rate? 4 times? 5 times? I will pay it in cash now just get it done..."
It seems like for every pleasant and reasonable person like you there are half a dozen jerks and those are the people you are going to have to compete with to get your boat.
The good news for you is that the marinas generally treat the nice people better than the jerks no matter how much $$$ the have in their pockets!
