lew Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Don't know the prices but you can try Emerald Ilse Marine at the s/e corner of Upper Buckhorn, or maybe Gannons Narrows Marine at Gannons Narrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Would you have to take your electronics, trolling motor and other stuff out and bring them back home with you every time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokestackLightnin Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Choate's store on McCracken's Landing was torn down to make way for this: http://www.mccrackenslanding.com/ I guess you can't stand in the way of progress. I spent many years on this lake but my parents sold our family cottage on Stoney when I was 25. I continue to return each year to fish the Firefighters fundraising tournament in September. One of my closest friends has a cottage right next door to this development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Would you have to take your electronics, trolling motor and other stuff out and bring them back home with you every time? I dunno, I would hope it would be fairly secured, enough to leave my trolling motor on. The only other thing i have on there is my fish finder and its on a clip on bracket so its only a second to pull off. Called emerald isle, and scugog island. I'll have to make the calls around the usual suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Depending on the trailer park, some of them will lease you a boat slip. My friend did that on Buckhorn, I can't remember the name, maybe Anchor bay I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 it also goes by the length of your boat !!! i believe a 16ft for the season will cost around $500 for the summer,that was the average price not too long ago,but they are free to charge whatever they want i have heard places charging as much as $800 for the entire season from may till usually the thanksgiving weekend....

mike rousseau Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I love owning 5 boathouses... Funny thing is I don't use any of them for my boat.... I trailer every day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 You could try Lunge Haven on Sturgeon Lake if you are interested, Really good people, well protected from the wind, good fishing within a few minutes boat ride. Rates $23.00/foot for the season. Tel. (705) 324-6610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy28 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Sandy Beach Trailer Court on Balsam Lake has some boat sites for rent for non trailer customers Benefit would be that you need an access card to get in and out of the docking area, its in a quiet bay (so boats don't get pounded by the wind/waves) and its a good launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 You are probably looking at about $500-800 for the season depending on where and what if any ammenities are offered. The trailer parks could be a good option since they usually have a park of some sort for the kiddies to entertain themselves while mom/dad get the boat uncovered, loaded, and fired up. Get on this quick because if the Kawartha's are anything like Honey Harbour, slips go real quick and are pretty much unobtainable once the boating season begins.

lew Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 You are probably looking at about $500-800 for the season I think your right in the ballpark Bruce, my neighbor has a 16 footer and he pays about $600/year at Burliegh Falls for nothing more than a dock.

linweir Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 A couple of yr ago I put my 17 ft boat in a trailer park in mid of Pigeon Lake. The slip price is about $400 plus $100 for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 That seems like a good price do you recall the name of the place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've kept mine at the moorings, on sturgeon lake a few times. Not sure what the price is now, but at the time, I paid about 350 for the season. Just a dock, no services. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Mars Marine on Chemong usually has slips available. Not alot of ammenities, but you get a dock with power available. I'm not sure of the going rate, my buddy docks his 16' boat there in trade for cutting the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 A 16' boat is a trailer boat.....you should be trailering it to the hottest lake the day your going to fish....it would take me less time to launch my boat then it would to uncover it at a dock and put in any equipment you don't trust being left in there....not good having a dock on Stoney Lake when the walleyes are jumping in the boat at Sturgeon or Rice Lake....

jedimaster Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I would trailer it all over, but having a corolla to drive, and living in a condo with nowhere to park it is a pain, and putting it in a slip is only a bit more than dry land storage. So I think I will like the convenience of having it in a slip. Idon't even leave anything in it even when I had it parked at home in the driveway so that won't be much of a change for me. ps if anyone is looking for a 2000 lund pm me... I may end up listing it as well, and see what comes first a buyer or a dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecmilley Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 if i had the choice i would pick a dock on the tri-lakes gives you the most spots to fish and a quick trailer to the kawartha highlands or bancroft districts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workwear Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 might wanna look for shore power also....keep them batteries charged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I understand.....have you considered storing it on the trailer at a marina/launch....we have several places around here that do that....you don't have to trailer it but only hook on and launch it right there....it's MUCH cheaper then a dock and more secure on windy stormy days/nights...

pics Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I checked out the McCracken's site. It's 900 for a 16 foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob I was going to suggest this, seeing if a marina will store your boat for the season and let you use the ramp for a fixed fee for the season. I know up in Honey Harbour there are a couple of marinas that do this and charge $250-300 for the season. As for having power at the dock, it will end up costing you more and it usually limited to marinas as trailer parks don't want to spend the big money involved in running electricity to a dock and having outlets at each slip. It's one of those it would be nice kinda things but not a necessity. I know, I have to pull my TM batteries out of the boat and bring them up to my trailer to charge them and it's a pain.

jedimaster Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Its the launching part that sucks. getting the boat in the water is ok, but pulling it out a 16 footer fully decked can be interesting with a corolla. It usually involves swearing, tire smoke and a 1/4 tanks of gas. Its also a possibility I am going to sell the corolla and get a small suv. If that is the case we will likely opt for some dry land storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously.....it's like people watching....we use to go in a large group to Oneida Lake every opening weekend and camp in our vans right at the launch parking lot....fished real early before sun up and would usually limit out...then back to the launch area, tie up the boats out of the way and get beer and lawn chair ready for the action to start....NEVER disappointed there....I believe the boat launch is the # 1 spot that divorces/break ups start...over the many years going there I think I have seen just about everything as many others here could attest to...
