Unmarked Marine Patrol Boat???

Probably a mapping boat similar to what Garmin was doing last year...

Huh, that's good to know. It had crossed my mind that these guys could be up to no good too. Just rather odd to see a boat that close to shore going that slow. Hate to think the worst, but these days you just never know.

I understand the MP also has some wave runners too. Hey I'm all for them using whatever cover is necessary to bust some of the captain bone heads that are out and about on the lake.

The boat I saw was white with a single 200+ outboard. No markings of any kind. It looked like it was in need of a bottom paint job. The odd thing is it circled brickyard cove and chestnut cove continuously. It must have passed my house 10-12 times on Monday. Sometimes very slow and sometimes up on a plane.

Note it does turn out that those 2 coves border the Bahre place. It doesn't seem like a very good time of the year for someone who thinks they need on the water security to be staying there.

I only saw it once Tuesday.

Maybe I've been reading too many David Baldacci books :-)

We did see the Garmin boat many times last year, mapping the lake. Have not seen it at all this year.

Garmin finished up here and released a new version with Winnipesaukee and 17,000+ U.S. lakes, rivers and reservoirs Priced at $149.99 and $199.99 (2 versions.)

Bizer is a better deal in my opinion.

Garmin used to have a 10 Winni only version... I wonder if they will update and still offer that. I certainly don't need 17000 lakes in my GPS!

Has anyone tried out the new Garmin maps. The $150 version of the map can be had for $50, pre-installed on a new GPS unit. The $200 version cannot - so you have to pay full price. However, the promise of being able to see shaded topography of the bottom may be worth shelling out the extra money.

I'm ogling over the Garmin EchoMap 50DV - which has their new DownVu sonar technology, in addition to supporting the new GPS maps. The marketing pictures make it seem that you can identify the leaves on under-water weeds, which for a milfoil seeker like me, is perfect. However, I'd rather not spend $549+ until I see it in action.

Nope the old $10 version is gone. Have to pay for all that survey time and equipment and buy the new version.
