Best short-term slip option north of Philly?

[superbenk]

Thinking about getting a slip for my 18' boat for a month or so this summer (July/August) on the Delaware north of Philly. What are my options? I know of only Neshaminy marina (waiting list I think) & D&S Boats in Bristol. Are there others? I live up in Bucks county, so I don't want to go too far south & make it harder to take the boat out.

Also, what should I expect to pay for 4-6 weeks of a 18-20' slip?

How about Delran, NJ / Riverside, NJ? There are good marina options and plenty of good resources there.

Nice harbor area with lots of boats, support, etc. Good shop: A to Z Marine

Cost? No clue.

Was thinking about Dredge Harbor. Going over the bridge & up/down the river adds a buch of travel time that I'd prefer to avoid, but maybe there just aren't options on the PA side?

Spend the day interviewing a bunch of marinas today on the NJ side. Leaning heavily toward rack storage at either Dredge Harbor or Trenton Marine Center. Dredge Harbor is really nice, but it's expensive & their pricing is for a full year (no seasonal pricing). Obviously keeping the boat in the rack indoors all year is nice, but expensive. They also only offer 1 included trailering/detrailering of the boat per year in the price (additional is $30 for each way) which can get expensive when we want to take the boat to lakes & such or due maint work.

Can't say I'm excited about the idea of bottom painting & leaving the boat in the water all the time.
