The opposite is true. Most people who trailer in for the day have already loaded up on food, beer, ice, soft drinks etc in the town that they are coming from.
They already have boating accessories and most have gassed up on the road where its cheaper.

I too, disagree! The amount of $ we've spent on food, fuel, building supplies, sporting equipment, general hardware, boat repairs, household supplies, electricians, dock construction/repair, restaurants, permit application preparations, marina fees, school and property taxes, (and of course, alcohol) for a tiny little camp on an island is staggering. In fact, the vast majority of my paycheck (earned in NY) is transported up to the Wolfeboro- Alton-Guilford area each summer and distributed to local businesses. Money spent in NY is just enough to keep the lights on and wait for lake-season again.
