Dave's stores and repairs a lot of boats and they come and go through Glendale. This time of year they are launching several boats a day.

Right, but my question is he charging for/selling a valet service and using the launch to do it?

DMS is not a marina with a valet service.

however there is labor time incurred to haul or launch a boat that has been serviced or stored etc, but is not for a reoccurring valet. totally different animals.

Dave's Motorboat is for sale. It was listed last week after being quietly shopped around for a while. Some of the property is a little "tired" but there is certainly value there. One of the advantages the property has is being close to the Glendale launch ramp.

If an investor buys it to use the 6.25 acres of land for something like condos it will leave about 300 boat owners scrambling for a place to service their boats.

Considering the lot is in the Resort Commercial Zone any condos likely wouldn't be for year round residences. Of course getting enough water for that many residences in such a small area may be problematic. Considering the amount of water pulled by both the Meadows and Timber Hill Farm for irrigation, selling condos that may or may not have an adequate supply of water will be tough.

It wouldn't surprise me if one of the other boatyards/marinas may snap it up after the bulk of the boating season is over.
