"Is the size boat I'm looking for too big?"

This goes back to the geography question.
There are lots of larger (30'-40') boats in Meredith, Laconia, Gilford, fewer in Alton Bay and the north towards Moultonborough. Two reasons, I suspect. There are more "big boat" marinas in those areas. There is much more big open water as opposed to more close in protected or rocky areas in the other towns. So, I don't think you can fully say it doesn't matter where I buy/rent a slip.
