52 slips on the water, and 300 boats kept high and dry. They are still in the planning process, so I dont know if we will get anything bigger than 10x30. 14x30 is the biggest private slip available on the lake, and I dont know if the developer is trying for comm'l marina status. My question to the corps was: who the hell has a 14' wide boat thats only 30' long? They are clueless. I asked if I could trade 4 feet in the width, for 4 more feet on length and they said no(for my personal slip.)

Where is a good place (ramp and parking) to put in a 38-42 foot boat and park?

Also good place to stay that would have a slip for such a boat?

i would stay away from kimberling city...the parking sucks and the ramp is VERY steep. Indian point and state park are good places to put in. You will need to call state park, gages, indian point to see what size slips they have available.

Finding a place to stay with a slip that size is going to be the problem. You better plan on backing in and sticking out. It is Very spendy, but the Chateau on the Lake is probably your best bet for finding slip accomidations with a place to stay and they have their own ramp. The State Park down past the dam might be able to accomidate you with a slip but there is virtually no lodging close.

I can do some leg work for you if you want to PM me to give me better idea of exactly what you are looking for.

There are 2 ramps @ Kimberling. The ramp is big enough we put in a 70' Sumerset in May. I'm talking about the one @ Whats up dock. I put my boat in there also.
I do know the ramp that you are talking about & it is stupid steep, but keep in mind the other.
If a slip is needed I can probably swing it @ Port of Kimberling where the HBs are at.

You can apply for a 6' roof overhang, but 30' is the max slip. My almost father in law has a couple of the 14x30 slips and got them just cause they were the same price. I think he has applied for the overhang on one. But yeah 30' boat that needs a 14' wide slip?

Its a great location for a new development on the lake. I am just a little to hillbilly to live in a restricted neborhood

I know Gages at long creek has some open house boat slips if you want the boat covered, pretty good ramp to

Is anyone going to the Phlock at the Rock at Rock Lane Resort on Aug 17th- 18th

Not according to Becky, the corps ranger. She told me that no part of the slip or roof can extend past 30 feet. Can you permanently keep your boat parked on the side of your boat dock?

My buddy Charles just had the last private dock put in on TR. It is 50x60 with one 16 x 38 or 40 stall, one 12 x 30 & one 12 x 26.
