I also recommend 5 star golf cars in Laconia. I believe they sell both new carts and lease carts to golf courses, then take them back after 3/4 years and refurbish them with new batteries, new...

None of those options

None of those options quite fit. It's usually between Labor Day and Columbus Day. I never quite make it that far but get as close as I can. It was early this season due to low water at my dock.

I got a box anchor from Parafunalia in Gilford a couple years ago. Used in on my Cobalt 262 and R5. Worked great and set easy in sandier bottoms. Folds up, comes with a nice thick bag, easy to...

I'm sorry for your loss winnitru.

I'd like to second Colonial Goldens. We are on our second and they are wonderful dogs. Both were/are very light colored goldens. Great temperments.

Just to echo others, you should take check, cash it, and donate it in any way you see fit. Far better for you to have it and redistribute it than trust the government to do it for you.

You should be able to get a discount on any new boat.

I say *should*, because my experience suggests that Whaler's are tough to get/find a deal on.

A friend of mine spent years looking at...

I would reach out to EastCoast Flightcraft. They appear to have at least 3 used 262s on their used boat site, maybe one of them has some filler cushions you could use as reference? Or maybe they...

When I used to keep my boat at Parker Marine, which also has a low bridge issue, my dealer offered the idea of a ballast system, like the wake boats use, to help weigh down the boat to lower it in...

The video was taken at the Marina in Jonathan's Landing, which is a community and all the slips (and boats) in there are for people who own condos in there.

Good questions

I haven't found "the house" with a slip yet, so those are all things I'll be thinking of.

The association itself is in Gilford, so open to the broads, so I would imagine wind and waves are a...
