Gilford Marina was established in the 60's taking over from "Port Lauderdale". The Fagans owned GM and went condo in 1983. Slips sold from $15K to, I think, $40K depending on size. Tenants at GM got first shot at the slip they were already renting, and the rest went via lottery with consideration to the size of the boat you owned. I can't remember the first name of the condo (Gunstock River?) There was a name before MVYC, but there were some "discussions" over fine points of the original condo documents and they were redrawn using the name Mountain View. The first managers were Jeff and Margaret Fagan, then a company called MMI(?). When that contract ran out (early 70's?) there was a bidding process for new management and Irwin Marine won. They have been renewing ever since. The management contract does not allow Irwin to sell or service non-member boats.
