What is are you paying for a boat slip on your lake?

I was just calling around here in Austin and the going rate for Lake Austin looks to be 700-900 per month. That's right.. A covered lift for 700-900 a month.

Whoa! Down on Norris in Tennessee they start at $150/month, only offer annual contracts though.

On the water, lift included? $150?

I guess having all these mega stars living on Lake Austin has really skewed the costs for us regular boaters..

Holy crap I've only priced houseboat slips at the lake we prefer in KY and is only 2-4k a year depending on which marina and size but have not priced a slip for our axis as I won't leave it just mooring whips off the rear for the weekends

Yes on the water, and yes lift included.

Retiring in TN then..

It's crazy, right? And if you call the bigger marinas on Lake Austin (Oysters Landing, Ski Shores) they won't even put you on the waiting list because it is over 5 years deep!

I keep my boat on Lake Travis for $400 month on the water on a lift. You could probably find marinas on the lake that are less, but I chose a specific marina for proximity purposes and it is worth paying extra in money rather than time.

Oyster landing would not even pickup the phone. I did check with a few people and the going rate on L Austin is 700-900. It does seem like turn over on the slips is less than a few a year. If I were on the Travis side I would so look at the other places but you are right Katie location is key.

I had a customer once buy a boat in oyster landing. He bought the boat and then traded it in on a new boat just so he could have the oyster landing slip.

Same here!

How tight is tight??

So I looked over at the G23 in the slip next to me. It is busting out of the cradle. Looks like all 102 inches of beam are being used and the G is has chains sitting right on the rub rail.

With the boats growing in size in our industry all these older docs are not setup to handle 102inch boats. I might have to add some PVC or something to keep the boat safe in the slip.
