I've heard the waiting list isn't so much a waiting list but a dreaming list. The waiting list is for people who dream of being a live aboard. You can call and they will put your name on a list. In our case we steamed into the marina on a modern catamaran, basically looking like we're dripping with money. The dock master wants to be able to vet you and a new, modern boat is far fewer problems than an older boat. Where I live the marinas have a problem with derelict boats. The owners buy them for cheap and then abandon them and go no-contact once the repairs get too high. So now the marina is stuck with $20k+ disposal. Financially, boats don't make sense so if you approach the marina as a live aboard trying to save money (LOL!) they will see right through it and imagine the headache you're going to be.
