The bumper advice is good. I did this with mine, had 2 per side setup at the correct heights.
Would just put them on, put the cover on and go.
Would not recommend dock lines. Too easy to get caught on something and do some damage. Besides, my old marina had dock lines attached to the docks. A better solution, I think.
It's not a straight cost analysis if you ask me. It's also a convienence and frustration analysis. If the lake you're heading too has empty ramps and easy parking, then not a big deal. If however, you frequently have long lines and not so great boaters to deal with, then the marina is worth it. I would venture to guess you'll use your boat more often with a marina.
In my case, I'm actually using my boat more on a trailer, but it's a different lake and different uses, so not a fair comparison.
I'd suggest trying it for one season. You'll never really know till you do try it.
But, you sound like the ideal candidate for it.
