Looks like my Jersey shore boating days are over, where I enjoyed the ideal dry storage with on-demand launch & retrieval service. I'd like to keep the boat on the Hudson next summer and can't find a marina offering any type of similar rack storage and service.
Patsy's Bay Marina in Stony Point will store it on the trailer and launch it for me with a day of notice. Logistically they're kind of far north and after retrieval (at their convenience), engine flushing, wash down and mooring cover install will likely not happen.
Anyone have any suggestions or is it time to trade for an outboard that I can easily wet slip? :(

I along with others wet slip their jet boats, what do you have against it?

Barnacles and other marine growth. Stony Point is brackish so probably not as big an issue as seawater, but I'd wouldn't want to leave it in for the summer.

Definitely would not wet slip at Stony Point. Would they let you store the boat on trailer there , and you can launch and retrieve yourself rather than having to do so at their convenience?
