I slept on mine the night before we left. So the slip was a home.
You know there are places like BLACKFOOT you can leave your trailer boat down shore? you don't need aa big driveway or yard.
Just throwing it out there,

If you trailer, you are at the ramp in 1/2 hour or less, and then only have a 10 minute boat ride to the fish... I often fantasize about getting a slip, but then when I see what others pay, I get terminal sticker shock.. Another option would be seasonal on trailer storage. You simply hook up your rig right at the marina, launch, fish, retrieve and then leave the rig there till next time.. Not as convenient as a slip, but again, a fraction of the cost, and you could always just go pick up your rig to tow it elsewhere if you would like to fish a new area..
it just depends on what you want to do, and how much you want to spend..
A slip is certainly convenient, but its costly.. A trailer is less convenient unless you want to try several areas each year, which many people do, and it is much cheaper... bob
