Curious, do you actually own a boathouse or is it a long term lease?

Own.
Still pay moorage similar to dock pricing

You need to get one of those inflatable lifts to keep that beauty shining.

My buddy did this when he had his 18 foot whaler, less than two months later he waved goodbye to his whaler and moved in a 28 axopar. Don't go to the boat show!

What a great job! The white top parts all custom cut starboard? I've wanted to do one of these for so long, would love to mount a 3rd downrigger in the middle. Would love more pictures maybe with the cutting board off? Looks like it quick releases.

And property taxes. I looked in to getting one a few years ago.

No property taxes on the boat house and no tax when buying or selling. It’s a private deal.
You pay moorage by the square foot and not by length.
Boat houses are going up in price quite dramatically. It’s more the moorage spot than the shed that’s worth the money.

Same. As soon as I started mooring I went from 18 to 24 to 32. And now back to 28 sadly.

You’re going the wrong way!

Wow, I’m jealous! This story has a real rags to riches vibe. From barely scratching enough pesos to score that cream puff from the old timer to your own boat shed! Please DM me with your investment brokers info!

Ultimate man effing cave. Good call. The pain in temporary the glory lasts forever.....
Thanks. It's no new boat house, but I'm pretty proud of it none the less. Yes, everything is custom cut/routed starboard, with stainless hardware. It does quick release with two pins at the front, which will eventually be tethered to the legs so I can’t lose them. I have not had it out on the water yet, so I don't know if the back edge will bounce around at all when running in chop. If it does I have some ideas for quick release pins on the back side of the mount too, but not going to try and solve that problem until I know it is a problem. It needs to be free to tilt for the motor as mentioned in the original post.
Here is a shot of the mount with table removed. There is a 7/8 stainless rail on the front edge of the table that slots into those U brackets in this photo, and quick release pins go in above that to hold it in place. The rail pivots in the U brackets for tilting, if that makes sense.

The nice thing about having a smaller boat is that I can actually build the deck out a little further and have some more floor space for a storage bench, and mini fridge, etc.
