I would guess there are at least 10 marinas and probably more strung around the lake and there is one off Perth Road that I'm told can handle larger boats. I'm going to be checking for a place to keep mine this summer as well. Stutts Marina has just built a number of new large covered slips but no dry storage.
There are some pretty big boats in wet slips under a roof right out side the Ale House. I don't know if any have lifts though and I dont know the name.

We like Kerr not alot of people on the lake . We camp at North Bend Campground next to the dam. We did a poker run in Sept. I think their were 12 boats and 4 jet ski's but we had a blast. Lots of coves to hide in . Great water to play in . Here are the 4 boats out of the Hampton Roads Powerboat Association that went to the poker run in Sept.

Keep us posted with what you come up with. I am limited in how big I can upgrade with where I am at currently and I don't want to trailer. Would love a covered slip with a lift.

www.bestoflakenorman.com has 17 marinas listed with about 3 or 4 that specify dry storage. the one that is supposed to be able to handle 38+ footer is about 4 miles out Perth Rd., just not sure the name of that one thus far.
I've kept my Spectre there for 2yrs. They treat me like gold! Very clean, very accomodating & great people. I'm almost positive they've stored a 40' Fountain Lightening there.
It's a haul up the interstate but a great ride for me on the water. With a 100mph+ boat being 1 mi from the sandbar would be about a waste to own the Spectre.
Feel free to contact me if I can be of any further assistance.

You are correct, 5mi north of Hwy 150 up Perth Rd on your left.
Sorry I don't know the channel markers off the top of my head.
