i just put in my app...listed in following order: Diversey, Belmont, Montrose, dusable, monroe, burnam.

i'm in Wicker Park and would rather avoid downtown, so thats what i went with.

where you guys at?

There are alot of offshores in diversy, alot of guys also boat out of Hammond In.

I haven't had a slip but I've stayed at each one as a transient. I like Burnham the best. Diversey is poorly maintained in my opinion. The cheapest is "on the wall" at Monroe which is close to everything but you need big fenders and good lines.

What kind of boat do you have

looking at 25 and 28 foot nordics...

Do they allow lifts at any of the marinas?

i dont believe so

I have owned a 28' Nordic, you might want to take a look at a 28' Sunsation. Alot better rough water Lake Michigan boat, trust me. Shogren has one cheap.
