So if your at that marina at a slip then you should utilize there services . It seems to me that most of the the marinas on the lake are all on the same page with there prices so why not stay faithful to the marina that your boat calls home.

This is my 21st season as a slip customer at Sheps. I have purchased 4 new boats there and give them all my storage and service. I have mostly good things to say about them. But when I buy a $40k boat from them and pay $3k a year for a slip, I think it is rude of them to tell me to get my 14ft aluminum skiff out of my slip because it was originally purchased a Y-Landing.

In their defense the slip contract clearly states you can't put ANY boat in your slip that is not specifically listed on the contract.
