How we pick winners
Every comparison follows the same evaluation: real dockage cost, ongoing maintenance, weather protection, amenities, convenience, and what long-time boat owners — not marketing materials — actually say about each option.
When one option clearly wins, we say so. When the honest answer is "it depends on your boat and how you use it," we spell out exactly which boater picks which option.
