Practically anywhere on the west side is good- Marco Island to Tampa Bay.
Here's the main stomping ground for FMO- Charlotte Harbor to Everglades City. Come on down!

I lived in the Orlando area for 18 years....you would need to trailer up to the St. Johns river or to either coast to use your boat there. Panama City would be a much better choice from a boating aspect. Check your boat insurance rate though....it should increase substantially.

Panama City would be my choice. I lived there twice growing up, when Dad was in the Navy. The bay there is real nice for boating. Lake X is located there.
For Orlando (I live 45 minutes from there), either the St John's (which I live on a canal off), or the Harris Chain of Lakes near Leesburg.

True...you are talking about East Lake Toho'....they used to have a boat race there every spring...it is just a big round lake and you will get bored easily.

Just out of curiosity, anyone know what the job market is like in the Panama City area? I'm not thinking of moving, but I've been there a few times and I got the impression that it is primarily a tourist-driven economy, very similar to Myrtle Beach.
