Hey folks, I’m hoping to get a trawler in the next year, a little sooner than originally planned, but, thinking it might be a good excuse for little periodic vacations. I live VERY near chattanooga TN, Ideally would like to find a place near there to keep it at while doing the repairs that would be necessary on anything I would be buying. Being unfamiliar with boats of this nature, what would a “bargain” yearly price be? I wouldn’t be opposed to going as far as somewhere around mobile bay, up the tenn/tom and nearly anywhere along that route. Salt/Brackish/Fresh water slips or drydock would be fine as long as they let me stay on it while in town doing repairs. Currently I have a pontoon docked at a “low end” dock on the local lake and I love the easy going nature of the low end places, ammenities are of less concern than cost right now. Once she’s “seaworthy” I’d be open to more types of funner/more expensive home ports…. Just looking for a little guidance here and particularly if anyone has experience near chattanooga/knoxville TN. Drydock would be ideal for starters, but I’m unfamiliar with how these facilities work….
