My wife and I are seriously thinking about giving up the pontoon as we are being priced out of the market. Our local marina in Fenton Michigan just raised the slip prices up to $3000 for next season with zero amenities. They are double slips only 20 feet wide and two pontoons are jammed in so tight you can't have bumpers on both sides and they have hardly any parking. They purchased the other marina on our lake so no competition either. I don't have room to keep the trailer on my property so towing is just out of the question going back and forth between a storage facility and the lake. A very short season in Michigan just does not warrant this kind of money. Maybe justified if the marina was somewhat decent but it is just crap. I honestly think this is intentional to get people to leave as they are now advertising buy a new boat and get a free slip for a year. Seems like a business model that is not sustainable for the long term.
