BOAT SLIP TROUBLE ALREADY? You Need to Know This When Buying a Boat 

Have you looked into insurance yet!!!!! Much more difficult than finding a slip, especially if this is your first boat because its big and old so it could be very $$$$$ and VERY hard to find.

It’s so the price can be raised for the next boat slip customer, the owner pays what was agreed upon but they want more money so you will need to find your own so you pay more than that previous owner. Game of greed

very good advice. Thanks

Luckily for me I’m on the Chesapeake Bay and slips are a breeze. Insurance can be an issue depending on size and value of boat. Now most marinas will not allow liveaboards and nobody told me this after i buy a boat.

Are they moving you to Shoreline? Alamitos has some BS rules and regs, but all Marinas do. I've been in Alamitos now for nearly 8 yrs. The nice thing about the Long Beach Marina's is that they are month to month. So if for some reason you need to off your boat, your not stuck in a year to year contract. Btw, I met you last weekend - I have the Bertram on the end and was taking the pump-out back when we met. Also, If you end up going to shoreline, you will get back to Alamitos very quickly. I am on the waiting list for both a 45 and 50. Been on the list for about 6 months now and have moved up really quickly. You can also try Cabrillo Way. Very nice marina, but it's in San Pedro.

Welcome to Long Beach boat life. 👍
