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?
Melvin Village Marina was explicit with me that they would not service a boat purchased elsewhere. This was during the sales process for a new boat, so I do not know what would happen if I just showed up there with a boat I already owned
