Looking for slip for sail boat

Hello Everyone,
I have been considering the purchase of a sailboat. It's 34 ft, fiberglass, shallow draft (4 ft), fixed keel sloop, currently located at Lake Lanier. I'd like to have it brought to Lake Martin.
I have found a company in Georgia that can deliver the boat to Lake Martin - so far - so good, but :
Harbor Pointe Marina (Stillwaters) can put it into the water, but they cannot raise the mast, nor do they have any wet slips available. (I am on the waiting list.)
I've looked at Chuck's Marina, and saw that they do have wet slips for sailboats, but by all appearances, they are full to capacity. (I did not talk to anyone there.)
Ridge Marina has plenty of space that would work, but they refuse to even talk to anyone about adding a second sailboat.
Anchor Bay Marina has covered slips only. We have discussed tying the boat up at the end of one of their docks, but the home office has nixed the idea.
I've investigated buying an interior lot which would give me dock access but have learned that the Alabama Power Company limits private piers to 50 feet and the lake water levels go down so much in winter that my boat would likely be sitting on the keel once the water goes down.
So... it's not looking good. No place to dock the boat, no sale. No sail either. : o (
If anyone knows of a place that would work to dock this boat, I'd love to hear it. Also, if anyone knows where I would be able to have the mast (46 ft) recommissioned, I'd very much like to have that information also.
Thank you,
P. Boone
