I think width is something you can always work with the marina - you can be at the end slip for example.
Be careful that most marina will take their yard tape and measure your boat to the nearest feet and charge you accordingly
A 50 ft long lw hull will cost you a lot for a slip in most places but on a mooring field is a different story so it might be a good idea to build a good dinghy (make it a catamaran) and plan to go back and forth - will be a lot cheaper at the end
my 2 cents

Subject: [harryproa] How wide are monohull slips?
Hi,
I continue to play around with my ideas for a 50' liveaboard, ocean crossing harryproa. I have a layout where it may be feasable to collapse the boat to a 16' beam. I realize that I don't actually know if that helps. Is anyone familiar enough with monohull slip dimensions to know if a resonable percentage of 50' long slips can accomodate a 16' beam?
I am primarily interested in marinas along the east coast of the US, but would also like to know elsewhere in the world.
For those in the world with a rational measurement system, I believe I am talking about 15m length and 5m beam (roughly).
With my design, it is not something you would do for a transient slip, but if you need to leave the boat for a month, or liveaboard in a marina, it might be helpful.
Thanks,
