Looking for Dry Storage Mobile AL

I'm looking for someplace to store my 32' sailboat on the hard for the next couple of months and am looking for recommendations or comments on marinas in the Mobile Alabama area.

Security is important so I do not have a hassle with missing parts. Being able to get work done, like bottom painting, would be nice but secure storage for a couple of months is the main concern.

I like Turner Marine but it does not look very secure, other yards seem more interested in working on the boat rather than storage (lack of yard space).

Anyone store a boat on the hard in the Mobile area? If not on the hard then any recommendations for other marinas?

Turner Marine

That 36' Ketch in the Yard at Turner's is mine. They have been great at working with me. I hope to be there end of next week. My Surveyor knew and spoke highly of them as well. He did say they always hate to see him coming though.

Is that ketch in the water on pier 3? If so I think I remember seeing it. Turner does seem like a nice place and they made it easy to pull the boat. I'd still be interested in a list of places in the Mobile area for future reference.

Looks like I'll need some work done to the bottom including fiberglass/gelcoat repair and stripping several layers of old bottom paint. I'd like to get a couple of opinions before getting something like that done. Any recommendations?

Over a month ago before I bought it maybe, but now it should be up on stands in the Yard. Turner charged me 1500.00 to do a bottom job. Here in Texas they wanted 2500.00 plus incidentals.
