what are some of the options as to where you keep your boat. Say I live in an area that doesn’t allow me to keep it in my yard. What are my options?

To the OP:
This site was started to be a place for people to learn and gain knowledge about fishing and related topics in charleston and it’s mostly become a pissing contest sadly. I’ve never understood why typical fishermen in charlestonn feel they are in constant rivalry with each other.
To answer your question:
Yes it’s customary to tip for good service at marinas including dry stacks. Most of the workers at the stacks in town work hard to make things as painless as possible for the boater.
Hopefully that helps your buddy consider the option of drystack.

global warming should mean a shorter winter fishing season, meaning less nagging about stupid **** like drystack tips and paper clips for sheepshead…

I usually tipped 20. But that usually only happened at one point over the weekend. And any time they saved me from a docking disaster or helped me get the boat off the trailer. Stuff like that. They all have pretty good attitudes and deserve it if you ask me.
Seemed like a reasonable question to me. If you don’t know, ask, that’s how you learn.
I’ve spent a lot of time on both sides of the issue, both as a marina worker and boat owner. As a marina worker we appreciated every dime we got and always gave priority service to the best tippers. As a boat owner I tip everyone involved in handling my boat and they know it.
While tipping isn’t mandatory, when 30 people call in on a busy Saturday to have their boats launched, fueled and waiting on them to arrive, those dry stack workers are inclined to prioritize service based on past tips, rather than first called, first served

I don’t know about everyone else but fuel prices are now by far the biggest factor in boating for me!
Didn’t used to be this way.
