West Alton Marina Experience

When I got put on WAM's waiting list last year, it mentioned the winter storage, but not a all service requirement. The service requirement is definitely a deal breaker for me, I was considering getting on the list again this year, but no longer. Requiring service also means they don't have to be competitive on rates or cost. That doesn't seem right to me.

Are you sure it's *all* service and not just winterization/summerization? I can see that falling into the "winter storage".

The contract did mention that you have to have a boat < 10 years old to be on the waiting list, suggesting to me that they wanted new(er) boats. Most new boats come with a warrantee, why would you bring a boat under warrantee to anyone other than the selling dealer regardless of where you slip??

Well it's their pool, I guess they can decide who swims in it, and as long as they have people agreeing to their terms, no motivation to change.

I wouldn't buy a car from a car dealer that required me to use him for service.
