Also consider yards in coastal or the sounds of NC. Plenty of DIY yards in the Pamlico Sound, Neuse River, Albemarle Sound, Southport, NC. Those away from the Atlantic coast are mostly very reasonable in cost with decent amenities and most allow DIY work although boats with drafts of ~ 5+ ft may have difficulties in or getting to some facilities. Yard fees are much higher near the coast but if you want to mostly work on the boat, you can save big away from the coast—plus within a days sail/motor you can be on the ocean. The winds up in the rivers/sounds are on the lighter side but for all practical purposes there are no tides, currents, fog and the bottom is soft but very black mud.
