Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - First boat buying experience left me feeling completely overwhelmed

Looking at the Eastern boats I am intrigued and interested. My question is regarding slips and new boats. On my slip agreement it specifically states that the slip is based upon a boat that was purchased and stored at the marina. It makes sense given the limited number of slips available. I do wonder, though, if others have run up against this - and if so, how accommodating has the marina been?

I can see both sides - if someone who is dropping 6 figures (or more!) on a boat wants a slip, makes sense to try and provide one. On the other hand, if an existing customer wants/needs a boat that the dealer doesn't carry - and the marina benefits from the slip, storage, and maintenance fees, makes sense to keep customers happy.

Experiences?
