All of the overcrowding issues boil down to the marinas, who in order to stay in business sell/store/valet more and more boats every year. Its rare to find a slip on the lake, and if you do its $5k.... and people are in line to pay it. The downside of a good economy. Woodsy

Are there really more boats? About 12-15 years ago there were 104,000 boats registered in NH. In 2008-2009 the numbers dropped into the low or mid 90's. Woodsy is right, access is not cheap, but those who have access are buying more boats (2-3 to a family) and with low fuel prices and a desire to get out of the house after a shut in winter, we're going to see more activity all summer, I think. Anybody know if marina gas sales are up a lot? Total boat registrations?
