The places where you can anchor out and get to shore for free (and get mail, dump your garbage and find a pump out are few indeed.

A dock will cost $3.00 to $20. per foot per MONTH depending what you are willing to accept.

A 50 ft boat in CT or NY can easily run $1000, $1500 a month , plus electric.

With no blue water plans a house boat , that can take the ground between tides will help find a low cost unwanted spot.
Electric is not required as propane cooking, reefers hot water, and heat are common RV items.

Good luck in your quest,

Up here at the north end of the hudson it cost $40 a foot for may-oct for the season.
In okeechoobie fl its 300 a month for a place i know, IF it is deep enough there.

Truth be told we will also pay for a few weeks in the keys too.
