Looking at our family's Winnipesaukee photographs taken before 1985 show scant boats in this area.

BTW: We moved here to be close to
Wolfeboro's airport!

even sailboats have been added.
About 90% of the monohulls* and catamarans* in my area have no engines—and that's not including several windsurfers.
*Boaters who actually put the sails
