Is this the old Chris craft dealer(Oliver Brothers') marina? I was there in the early 1990's

Yes it is.

Interesting you mention electrical.

The far "south" docks to the right(when facing the water) I put in an underground feed to a new cutler hammer panel for that last dock. Was state of art back in the 1990's when installed. I guess it all went to crap?
Or is that the old good end?

Why not just find a better place? Good timing now (for the 2013 season).

With this economy and high fuel prices...I am sure there are plenty of open slips in much better marinas.

AGREED! Marinas would love to look to new money for 2013.

You would figure the poorest maintained marina would be the lowest price? But not always so.

I towed a guy WAY WAY up the Raritan past SOuth River to Old Bridge Marina. There they have a 1 foot shoal under the approach bridge. It was low cost, but nicely maintained. Aside from the blocking shoal at laow water , it was also 7 or 8 miles out to Raritan Bay.

As suggested- look around. You can't fight City Hall. But you can find a better one- move!
