Don,
I think are commodore is the "Donald Trump" rumor has it he owns more than 20 slips.
JVM,
It depends on the beam of the slip and it's location in the Marina. D dock is considered the best location because of the view of the Great South Bay, S dock is also considered one of the best for different reasons (large slips on a wide canal, easy access). Some may consider parts of B dock and S dock to be primo slips because of the proximity to the pool (great if you have young kids)
There are no bad locations in the Anchorage, although I am not crazy about the docks (forgot the letter) that boarder the school fence, seems to easy for someone to scale the fence and steal stuff off your boat.
I see by your profile you have a 30' Searay, first off you will need to sell your boat because we do not allow Searays into the marina.

, just kidding.
For a boat your size (assuming that a 13'2" beam would work, remember it's all about beam, not length) you could get a slip anywhere from 35 to 45k. I bought another slip on B dock last year through Craigslist (Thank You Don) for 35k, it was considered to be a cheap price, fair value and a good deal would of been 40k.
The other slip I own on D, 15'11" beam (where I keep my boat) I hear would sell for close to 80k, since there has not been a slip for sale on D dock for many many years, I am not sure how accurate that number is. I know someone that bought a slip on A dock a few seasons ago and he paid 45k for the slip, 13'11' beam.
As far as the go forward costs, my slip on A dock costs me around $1,500 a year (close guess). This includes maintenance and taxes. My slip last year was rented for $3,900.00. I heard that they raised the rentals for next season but do not know how much.
Also keep in mind that the slips appreciate every year. So not only are your go forward costs cheaper but you have an investment that is earning you money.
Best Place to view listings is either the office at the Anchorage, or Craigslist. There are never that many slips for sale at any one time and the ones that are sell quickly.
