Skip did his usual expert job covering this subject in a thread about mooring squatters. Check out his message, #3 in the thread Mooring Squatters

Check out his post to get a hint of the kind of trouble you could be in by casting a boat adrift. And, of course, he backs it up with the RSAs that apply AND explains how to properly deal with the problem.

I wonder what it would take to start a docking business. Charge by the hour, day or week. Post signs and etc. I wonder if you could then tow those who have not paid their fee, like a car parking space.

Good luck.
