I am from IL and leave mine at Punta Gorda
Marine. They stepped the
mast and put it in. When I leave they just put it back on the
trailer with the
mast up. I leave the truck there too. Pretty skinny
water getting out of there. I draw 3.5' and wait until high tide. Laishley Park Municipal Marina is a nice
price by it as long as you can get under the bridge. Floating docks and nice.We have used Allegiant Airlines and just fly into the local
airport from the Quad Cities. Sure beats driving and is almost cheaper. I go to a
hotel close to the
airport and stay 1 night. They let you leave your vehicle there for up to 1 week no charge and have a shuttle to the airport.
