[QUOTE=Rattlesnake Gal]Dive Sites of Lake Winnipesaukee

There is also a relatively newer boat sunk on the north east side of the island. The wreck is called Empty Pockets and is in very good shape. - Is this the site that was found last year?

Nope -- while "Empty Pockets" is a relatively new find, it's been known for a few years. I've been on a few dives at the site, and done one there with the guy who originally found the cabin cruiser. Dove it with the forum's Senter Cove Guy last year (after failing to find it on a DWC charter). The transom name plate had been removed. Some say it's an "insurance job." Lies in about 54 feet of water -- not on the northern side, but on the southwest side. A very interesting dive site on that side of the island.
