On your original question, ask around the club. I know #12 or #13, just changed hands and he is always there. The last one on the old gas dock also was sold last year.
There are 2 side by side which occupy the same open space between fingers which is the only reason it is tempting. Having control over your neighboring slip allows you to put whatever beam boat in you want. That's my real motivation. One of the two that I rent is next to Tony's Rinker 350, which limits what I can put there.

I agree, the long term numbers are not great but with two side by side it creates an opportunity not always available.
