We are doing the same thing. We bought the live-aboard and are renting a slip. We have spent almost 40 nights on the boat since Memorial Day. We love it. Untie and leave to cruise the lake whenever you want. We are at Gilford Yacht Club, which is a relatively small club(only 60 odd slips), everyone is friendly, great atmosphere. I understand from a friend that West Alton is great too but there is a long waiting list for slips. I think there may actually be 2 or 3 slips for rent at GYC. Purchasing slips can be expensive too. Prices under $80,000 are almost non-existant. There is one slip for sale in Meredith for $179,900. Rentals range from around $4000 to about $6500 depending on location and whether the place is wholly owned or condo-assn. and individually owned. We have always loved camping and loved boating, so this is the best of both worlds. Have fun!
