Boat mooring question

[SubmersibleGeek]

I posted on here about a week ago asking for inflatable advice. I got alot of help so thanks. I did get a boat but its a little bigger than an inflatable. Can anyone tell me what is available for boat storage, preferably a inwater mooring. but will take dry storage. I will not be in the area until March but would like to get on a waiting list if necessary now. The boat I need to moor is a 22ft center console. Thanks for the help.

are you military by any chance?

Yes, I'm Navy. I called the three military marinas that I know of (Kanoehe Bay, Rainbow and Hickam.) Nothing less than a 3year wait for inwater storage and the girl at Hickam told me that she has never seen a slip open up as long as she's been there. 1.5 year wait for trailer storage. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

state marinas will cost you about $3 a foot,, privates $5~12 a foot,,, many have a long waiting list although some you can get into with no wait

I would say your best shot besides a private mooring would be to inquire at Keehi Lagoon. It leaves a lot to be desired but is probably your best bet for a slip without a long wait. I pay $113 and change for my 25 footer.

1.5 years for trailer storage? I just went down to hickam storage ... uhm 2 weeks ago and got a spot...never was on a wait list.

You should be able to get a slot at Hickams Dry storage lot, it is about a mile from the harbor at Hickam. Slip space is REAL HARD to get as people tend to "Sublet" in order to keep their slip. It may be wrong, but you'll have a hard time proving it!
I would advise NOT keeping your boat in the water anyways, it becomes maintenance intensive after a while. a 22 footer should be able to be pulled rather easily from storage to ramp......
Hey S&D, is the "Rona Lee" still floating?

 

[ScubaAndDreams]

yup. I never see her out though.

Thanks S&D and MrJimbo. I kinda figured storage might be a different story once I got there. Would still prefer a slip though. My wife would be much more likely to use it without me if it was in the water. If anyone hears about a sublet coming available please send them my way.
