Tufted duck?
Spotted these guys off the shore of Samoset/Gunstock Acres on Saturday. Are they a flock of tufted ducks?

Gilford
I'm not sure why you didn't mention Gilford as an option. We're in Gilford. I think Gilford is the best option for lots of reasons (e.g. stores, restaurants, lake access, Glendale, beaches (Ellacoya,...

Draft?
Cool boat. I'd be curious to know the draft. On Lake Winni, having a long draft can be a huge liability especially late in the season. :-)

Jet ski behavior

On the subject of drunk driving, I can't believe that Richard Conrod will basically only do 4 years for killing a woman. I am so traumatized by that accident because I drive that stretch of road so...

MVYC should put up cameras (if they haven't already). They are inexpensive and incredibly effective at deterring, catching and prosecuting crime.

New Boater
Day rental is a good way to get some experience and see what type of boat you prefer (e.g. pontoon, bow rider, etc.). If you can, rent on a weekday. Weekend days are much busier on the lake. Pay...

Natural Stone
I much prefer the natural stone. It's not just the look. It's everything. We had a family of mink in our wall one spring. It was amazing to see.

Captain's Walk
On twitter, it was reported to be a house fire at Captain's Walk. I'm not certain if that's true just sharing what was reported. It could be seen across the broads from Gilford.

It's all about the wind
In my opinion, it's all about the wind speeds on the broads. Once the winds get over 12-13mph, you probably will be more comfortable in something bigger than 21ft.
If the wind is 10-11mph or...

Vote #3 for Dave's Motorboat Shoppe in Gilford.
I've been with him for several years now and switched to him based on a recommendation from another boater in my condo development.

It suggests the beach was actually filled in at some...

If that's intentional, it would rule out many of the marina's mentioned. It would leave us with everything from Meredith...
