I am moving from MN to TX for several months. I will be in the Dallas area, and I leave in four days. It seems Lewisville is the closest best option, but which marina should I use?

I need to keep my boat on the trailer at the marina, because apparently there is no dry-sail option (boat stored in warehouse, brought to water with forklift).

What do you guys recommend?

Thx

Tom

I've used Pier 121 for several years.

Sneaky Pete's has a better bar for partying, but its on the far side of the lake from me. 121 is close, and like you, I keep the boat on a trailer. They have uncovered and covered storage.

Another storage option is King Brothers. Off lake covered storage, about a mile from a public park with a ramp.

I use Kingbrothers, it's $60 per month for me, if you want garage type coverage probably run about $175-$200, you have access to 3 ramps all within 2 miles. Just like anewway stated, just depends where you are going to live. I DON'T recommend you keep it in the water, the lake will eat your boat alive within 2 weeks. If you need anything, just PM me.

Thank you for your replies.

I am living on Coit Road at an extended stay, so Eagle Point is the closest. My plan is to spend the first month in Dallas checking things out and familiarizing myself with the area and marina, and their covered dry-storage. Then I'll fly home and trailer my boat to Lewisville.

It looks like a great boating lake on satellite images.

If it all works out, I'd like to meet-up with Lewisville people.

Thx,

Tom

Just hit me up on a PM I can take you around, I was on the lake all day today, it was beautiful. Additionally, Lake Ray Roberts is only 40mins North and Lake Texoma(big) is 1:20. All have their up sides. Plus the season usually ends around November.

Where on Coit Tom? As you will quickly see, a lot of the northern side of town are pretty much set up in a n-s and e-w block. I'm at Independence and 121, Coit is the next main road west of me. If you are north of George Bush (190) then Pier 121 would be the closest. But again, there's nothing wrong with Eagle Point

I would say 121 would be the best bet for keeping your boat on the trailer. They have a marina, gas and a place to eat along with plenty of dry storage.

Ever seen my old Race boat out there ?

On Lake Lewisville?

Yes all the time . When I visit I get to take the boat out for a romp while the owners at work
