We are considering the purchase of a boat in Miami, and may leave it there till spring with the hope we can get some boating weekends during the winter. We would bring it back north in April.

Boat is not bottom painted so do not want to leave it in the water. Any suggestions for indoor or outdoor dry stack marina's and any ideas on monthly cost. Boat is 35' in length. Ideal location would be within 30 minutes of Miami International Airport.
 
pretty much anywhere along the bay is within 30 min of MIA, and also within 45 min of FTL which has cheaper flights (inclyuding JetBlue)

Rickenbacker Marina, Scotty's Landing, Grove Harbor and the city of Miami facility next to rickenbacker are your best bets. Glen / Cheasangaset kept his boat at rickenbacker for couple of winters, i'm sure he'll chime in.

there are also dry racks down at Black Point marina, but a little farther, although probably about 30' drive from MIA.

you can find all the phone numbers on Active Captain.

my first choice would be Grove Harbor due to their location, right in the grove. right on the bay, no NWZ, and plenty of restaurants,e tc... nearby whereas Rickenbacker on Virginia Key is more isolated.
 
Yup, we had good luck with Rickenbacker Marina the past couple winters. It's an outdoor dry-stack. No wake zone is pretty short. NWZ in the Marine Stadium Cove area, then on plane until a little before the Powell Bridge (Rickenbacker causeway), then on plane heading south on Biscyne Bay.
If you having a planing vessel, it's a fairly short ride to most of the nearby sights.
