Most Marinas charge by the foot for a seasonal slip in our area. Used to be it was what was written on the boat such as mine would have been 41. Marinas started charging by LOA to get a little more income which is fine so mine was bumped to 43 which is the actual manufacturers spec. This year they measured my boat and charged me for a 45. I showed him the actual spec but he said they measured it and it was 45, said the spec did not include the anchor sticking out the end!!!

Is this fair? Have others had to deal with this? Should I just say I will drop my anchor slightly so it does not stick out? Not a big deal but I feel this is a going a little overboard.

Better not lean my flagpole over the transom too far or it will be another foot fee.
