Hey everyone. We're looking to purchase our first boat within the next few months (probably during the February Indiana Boat Sport & Travel Show) and I'm trying to figure out where to keep the boat during the summer.
I used to have a `99 F-350 to pull a sprint car trailer but sold it when I sold the race car. So, that means that I'm going to have a boat before a truck to pull it. Not ideal, but that's the situation. My brother has a truck that I can use to get to the lake so I do have a method of transportation, but I would never expect him to shuttle us weekly.
All that said, I am trying to find a lake somewhat near me that offers slip rentals for the summer so I can leave the boat in the water. We live in Brownsburg, IN (NW side of Indy). My parents rent a slip on Monroe in Bloomington but I'd prefer to try and slip closer than 2 hours away if at all possible.
It would seem that Cecil Hardin (Raccoon Lake) would be the closest but I just can't seem to find any info about slips. Also, Lake Freeman, Lake Shafer, and Heritage Lake all seem to be within a reasonable distance but I'm striking out in determining whether or not any of those places offer seasonal slip rentals.
Any info you may have would be greatly appreciated.
(I've posted on multiple forums and just copied the same message... in case you've seen this somewhere else already.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
