Do you tow or dock slip?

I've been trailer'ing for 30+ years. Love having it safe, high and dry in the shop behind the house. Makes maint/cleaning/upgrades much easier.
Been on a waiting list for a slip for abt 1 yr so far. Once we get a slip and lift, It will live there during the season. I'll leave the bay open in the shop when I need to pull out for maint, nasty weather or off-season storage.
If I ever switch to a cruiser, won't be much towing at all.

We trailered a 19’ for four years, the 23’ for six months before going into a rack, and the 32 has resided On an indoor rack other than trips or maintenance projects. Walking down the dock and jumping in your boat beats trailering any day. At a minimum here in Florida where the ramps can be clown hour in the afternoon. Ruined too many great days on the water during clown hour at the ramp. Never again to trailering for a season. JMO, if you prefer trailering you’ve never tried the other options,

lift - with two kids ages 8&10 we would never use it if we had to find the time to tow so feel fortunate we have the lift. Towed the first couple years, then installed the lift. 20k lbs IMM in case I win the lottery and can afford a 55’ MTI. Until then I’m just overcapacitized!!

We tow ours, I like others, enjoy having access to it to work on. Living outside of Chicago we had a slip in Indiana with our 357 for a year, having OCD like some others I would pull it out every two weeks to clean it and do maintenance. We also have a home in Wisconsin 20 mins from a lake and one in Kentucky 5 mins from Kentucky Lake so it does not make much sense to keep it in one spot.
