Since gas has started to run up I am again thinking about leaving my boat on the hook. I did leave a boat in the marina for a few years back in the early eighties but I found my boat broken into several times, the limited location frustrating, the additional fees like excise tax/hook tax to the local muni where I kept the boat aggravating.
However, as I started with the price of gas to tow a 21' at 10 mpg let alone the daily commuting cost with a 16 mpg tow vehicle makes me reconsidering.
Has anyone done the tradeoff and what has been you experiences.
