We had a slip at Liberty Bay a few years back: very nice marina with great management (Kathy) and the price was fairly reasonable also. We only moved to be closer to our home.

Even though one unit is working well using the same thru-hull, have you had a diver check that thru-hull for marine growth?

Wow! Now I have a pretty good idea who's been blowing by us at the speed of heat while at anchor. We have a 6hp four-stroke Suzuki on a 10.6' RIB which is slow (stately?), but then, so is our big boat.
