Cheapest haul out and dry storage for the Florida Keys?

[heylaerz]

I recently purchased a 1972 39’ Ericson and just completed a month-long cruise through the Bahamas to “break her in” (for me anyways.. haha). With hurricane season on the horizon I’m looking to find a safe and cheap marina in the Florida Keys where I can get her hauled out and stored until November.

We are currently in Bimini and will be crossing the Gulf Stream here in the next few days and making our way south looking for a good marina. I have a good friend with a place in Sugarloaf Key whose house I’ll most likely be using as a home base for a few days while we make some necessary repairs while she’s out of the water. We were going to call around the Marathon marinas as this is fairly close and will certainly be cheaper than Key West.

Does anyone know any of the prices for hauling in/out and for storage in this area and know any places or resources to recommend?

Thanks in advance!
