  Lauderdale Marine Center general manager Mark Pratt said Thursday that he's heard the argument about the shed's impact on property values before and doesn't agree.
  
  The Lauderdale Marine site has been used as a boatyard since the 1940s — long before any homes were built, he said.
  
  Residents knew what kind of area they were moving into, and those who complain about the shed are a handful of the homeowners, Pratt said.
  
  "The property is zoned [for a height of] 150 feet and we're only asking for 71.5 feet," he said."And right across the river at the new Pier 17 project — the site of the old Summerfield's [boatyard] — a shed has been approved for 65 feet."
  
  The shed not only is compatible with others at the boatyard, it's compatible with the neighborhood, Pratt said.

  For those that remain in the business, the temptation to sell can be significant. 'We have tire kickers come through weekly,' said Mark Pratt, general manager at Lauderdale Marine Center, referring to interest from residential developers in 17 acres of land nearby where a boatyard is planned.
  
  'It's going to be a boatyard -- no question about it.Our feeling is that we'll just get busier as the others sign with residential developers,' Pratt said.
  
  Lauderdale Marine Center has a waiting list of 190 boats for a total of 200 slips.It recently raised its daily rental fees 20 percent, Pratt said, adding that given the waiting list, "I should have gone up 50 percent.'

  Mark Pratt, general manager of Lauderdale Marine Center on the New River, has 38 acres that he leases out to boat owners and captains of vessels up to 135 feet in length for maintenance and repairs.His yard is near capacity for most of the high season and he has no room to expand.
  
  "I've got I-95 on the west and Broward Marine to the east," he said."There's really nowhere to go."Even if adjacent property were available, he added, the price would be exorbitant, at around $750,000 to $1 million per acre.
  
  Rearranging space
  
  One of the country's largest yacht dealers and service companies, Fort Lauderdale-based Allied Richard Bertram Marine Group, also is feeling the space squeeze.
