Let me disclaimer my response. We live on the lake full time and so we are not supporting another residence somewhere else.

We have a 22 foot pontoon boat and a bass boat. We had a boat house built and had lifts installed so we would not have to store our boats at a marina or look for an offshore storage. Having said that, we do rent a storage space for the boat trailer and an antique car we have for a very reasonable $70 per month. We have noticed a lot of people rent such a space for pontoon storage.

We also buy fuel on the lake, just because it's easier to do so. At this point in our lives, we just decided saving a few bucks wasn't worth the effort involved in hauling gas. Don't forget that your time and effort are worth something; and additionally, if it takes too much effort, it becomes a burden rather than enjoyment.

We've lived here for almost a year now, and it is wonderful. I think you'll be very, very happy here.
