I agree that knowing where you want to end up is a key point in what you buy and where you'll store it winter and summer. I have a neighbor who does winter storage in his yard, 29' boat. He pays somebody to move it at each end of the season. Much cheaper and easier than buying a bigger truck, and they winterize it too. Depending on boat size, many marinas offer year round plans, especially for valet. A good plan for somebody starting out with out a clear plan for future geographic needs. Yes, if you want to liveaboard for some weekends, a marina/slip rental is a better plan. Sign up now for 2019.
