I'm all for it. Anything I can do to help, let me know. It's not going to get any better on its own and waterfront is way better than marsh front. If that is the extent of the cost, or even double that, it's a no brainer.
The RV Resort is on their own. Mona bought the whole property from the Bowie/Stinnetts, made it in to a RV Resort and then sold off the lots in "condo" fashion. He still owns some lots and holds the financing on others, however he doesn't have any thing to do with the RV Resort other than being another lot owner.
The RV Resort reached out to lot owners and to the home owners along the water to try to get it dredged on our dime, most weren't interested. This is a one time deal- the RV Resort falls under the permits Mona already has and it will never be cheaper than now when the manpower and equipment are already there. I'd have to go back and look but think the number was only $20K. I'm still trying to get a special assessment done at the RV Resort- haven't made the push since they haven't started but will as soon as the first scoop of spoils are dug up. 85 lots / $20K is only $235 each- to get 4' MLW all the way around!!
Last I heard, they were going to do the ramp at the RV Resort and the spot between the RV Resort and the road leading to the restaurant at that "Y" in the river. I'm at 5' with a 1.6' swing between the tides where I'm at, love it to be deeper but with outboards can get in/out in all but dead low tide. That Y is my only issue really- have to hit the throttles, then let off for the bow to drop so the stern can coast over the hump while hugging the RV Resort side- amateurs please don't attempt...
Oh yea- Mallows Bay, what a waste of $$....
