Best of both worlds is House on the North Shore to live and a High and Dry on the South Shore.
What u mean by hi and dry, is that aka rack storage

I would have to agree with Titan....I live on the North Shore overlooking the Long Island Sound and keep the boat on the South Shore...next season I might be going one step further and keep the boat in Hi and Dry on the South Shore and have a slip on the North Shore....both sides are so different that I always like to switch it up from time to time.

Man - I would say stay the F away from Hoboken if you're into boating or for that matter even having a normal car or life. I love going out boozing, but that literally is all you can do in Hoboken. You can't own a nice car. You will come out of your (expensive) apartment and on any given average day, step over puke or (someone's dog poop) find your car with either a boot on the wheel, or some jackasses parked so close in front and behind you that you literally can't get out short of ramming them out of the way. I would highly recommend Long Island or Connecticut. CT is expensive, but you can get a normal home and/or apartment where you can walk out the door and have your boat nearby at a marina. You can also take a train and be in Manhattan in 40 minutes. Stamford CT has one of the highest average incomes in the country of about $60,000/ person that live there. I have several good friends that work for Sikorsky up in New Haven if you're looking for helicopter engineering work (PM me and I can put you in touch with them). Long Island is great, you also have a train, and you have access to numerous marinas as well as normal living conditions. The Long Island Sound is DEFINATELY some of the best boating in the country. Between Long Island and CT, you have an endless supply of destinations, with NYC and Montauk not too far out of reach.

Hey J-Bonz, I work for a pretty well known company in Freeport, with our main office in Staten Island. I am in sales, and I happen to know we are always looking for good people in sales/service or anything you could specialize in. I live in Long Beach (3 houses off the beach) and have the time of my FREAKIN' LIFE! I am in my late 20's and single, so it works out very well. 45 minute train ride to the city for your girl. Any help I could give you, I would be more than happy to...

Take it from me, the south side of the island has noise laws. I got pulled over a few times early this season for noise. I had full dry CMI's. Never got a ticket. I have added a set of GGB Extremes, have not been stopped since. You can run whatever you want in the ocean, but there are rules when it comes to the bays and canals.
