I don't think they allow you to do your own work. My boat doesn't need any work at this time but I would like to do some of my own maintenance IE. change the oil etc... How the he@@ am I going to learn anything? It's also a 45 minute ride to the Ocean.
Last year I had them change the drive fluid and some other work $$$$ they wanted to charge me separate to pull the boat out and then put it back in the water (and after working on my drive, I couldnt put it into reverse or neutral).
I wish there was such a thing as a yacht club for powerboats. A pool, some cabanas, food, drink and a health club etc..
I called Channel Marina because a friend with a Searay said it was nice, they don't have in and out and don't allow that lift set-up like Panther has.
It's been difficult launching and now with the new baby it's even harder. I'll probably go to South Jersey where my brother-in law keeps his boat. The Marina agreed to set me up just the way I want to be. I'll be able to go out whenever I want and dont have to rely on a second person to guard the boat at the ramp.
I need to do more boating and partying and less worrying about how to get the boat in the water.

I would flush my motors in the rack once they pulled the boat out of the water. They even helped me pull my motor twice when I blew a transmission and broke a bell housing in two from a rough day on the ocean.
The lift operator even stayed late to wait for me to get there. Oh yeah, this was all done at NO charge, unlike other places.... 
You also have the new marina with rack storage next to Windansea.. Surfside Marina, Anglers.... there are plenty out there.

Ever been out on a boat during a hurrincane,And flip it upside down only to continue on
U.S. COAST GUARD SURFMAN CREED
I will to the best of my ability, pursue each
mission with the commitment, compassion,
and courage inherent in the title
"SURFMAN".
I will endeavor to reinforce the worldwide
reputation of our forefathers in the
Lifeboat Community.
I will maintain a guardian's eye on my crew
at all times, and keep a cool, yet
deliberate, hand on the throttle.
I will give of myself and my knowledge as
those who gave to me; so as the line
of Coast Guard Surfman will live forever
I will ensure that my supervisors rest easy
with the knowledge that I am at the
helm, no matter what the conditions.
I will never unnecessarily jeopardize myself,
my boat, or my crew; but will do so freely
to rescue those in peril.
I will strive with dedication and determination
to bring credit upon Coast Guard Surfmen
past and future.
