Dry Stack or Wet Slip?

[Derty]

Hey folks, hope everyone's doing well! Quick question—I'm debating between dry stack and wet slip storage for my 32' center console. Would love to hear your experiences. What works better for maintenance, access, and long-term care? Appreciate any insight!

Hey! I was in the same boat with my 34' Everglades last year. I ended up going with dry stack, and honestly, it’s been a smart move for keeping the hull cleaner and reducing wear from sun and salt exposure. That said, if you’re someone who’s heading out daily or running a tight fishing schedule, wet slips definitely save time. I found Surfside Marina (https://surfside-marina.com/) really helpful—it's a state-of-the-art dry stack and wet slip boat storage marina and service center in Surfside Beach, Texas. They even freshwater flush engines like Yamaha or Mercury every time they haul your boat out, which adds peace of mind. Just depends on how often you hit the water, but dry stack’s been a great balance for me so far.
