I actually live in Orlando, I also don't own a vehicle that can tow a boat, haha! This works to my advantage somewhat though because I figure I'm centrally located to both coasts, making it easier for me to get to boats on the east coast. I would definitely compensate any CSC members who were kind enough to help me check out a boat, when the time comes, with lunch and plenty of beer!

My plan is to keep the boat at a marina that has the dry storage shelves and a forklift. I figure the cost of storing it there won't be too much more than the gas it would cost to drive it back and forth to the coast twice a month(vehicle that gets 25mpg vs 10mpg). Also, I won't have to buy a truck that can pull it.

I figure I will only have to tow it twice to get it to the marina: once to my house when I buy it(if it needs work) and once to the marina. I will just rent a Uhaul or something for those days.

If my thinking is flawed feel free to let me know.

I like that Seafari up in tallahasee, but I'm not ready to buy yet(financially or knowledge-wise). Thanks for the tip though!

And that mash-up site is awesome!
