Fleet has grown
So the fleet is expanding.... Now the dock is full, what the hell am I to do, I have one for crusing, and one for speed... what if I want just one more......

If the white bow rider has a trailer, you can go do day trips to Winnisquam, Squam, and Newfound. All three have real good Fish & Game boat launches that are totally free for launching and car & trailer parking. Squam has lots of shallow rocks but the other two do not.

It funny you should mention this, as you can see from this angle, I have acquired a swim raft, a paddle boat (not shown), and potentially a row boat sunfish, from a generous neighbor who is selling their property, and want to see their toys go somewhere will they will be enjoyed.... I am seeing my dock fill up fast because of this.... (the two boats pictured didn't come from this neighbor, those where my purchases).....

Not
A boat lift is not supposed to be used to increase the number of available slips.
However, the docking rules don't say anything about getting your own FORK lift. Or, trade your cruising boat (the toon?) for a cabin cruiser with a hydraulic swim platform to store the jet ski. Bet you can get a nice cruiser/Jet ski package for next year. The Fort Lauderdale boat show is Halloween week/end. More stuff there than you can ever imagine at the NE Boat Show. https://www.flibs.com/en/home.html |

Are you close with your next door neighbor? Looks like they are sporting a four winns 18-19 bowrider and a cruiser too .
Sometimes you don't have to look too far to see where an artist draws his inspiration I guess. |

Seems like a good problem to have. You want another one, go get one!! I had four at one time, but came to realize it was a bit too much for such a short season. Down to two now. One for the big lake, and one for the small lakes. Only in America...!!

I was able to replace our sport boat, 16 years ago now which was more important to us, but getting a pontoon boat, eluded me, for a while but when my eldest son decided not to go to college, I decided the timing was right, so I struck out. Waterskiing, tubing etc. are in my blood, so I can't imagine not having a sport boat. I always thought I would simply forget about the pontoon boat, and just get a bigger sport boat.... But as time has gone, the price of boats has sky rocketed, and to get a sport boat, capable of skiing etc. and taking the family out for a 2 to 3 hour Saturday cruise comfortable is just to much money in my opinion.... So when I found a nice big pontoon boat, at a reasonable price, having two boats, suddenly came back into view. The neighbors you have pointed out, my relatives, never intended to have two boats, however when at 88 years of age they realized they needed something easier to get in and out of, decided to look into a pontoon. I think they would have traded in the sport boat, but kids and grand kid whined and complained, so for the last two or 3 years, that sport boat has sat at the dock covered with minimal use, because honestly those kids and grandkid don't spend much time at the lake...... As for my two boats, the sport boat and Pontoon boat, go out every weekend that everyone is at the lake.... with our boys having Girl friends and guests now in our picture of life, that sport boat, just isn't the family cruiser it once was......... 8 people on the pontoon, last weekend was an awesome experience, no one left on shore, and plenty of room..... You may draw a conclusion that an artist is drawing his inspiration from a source.... but you may also be wrong, this artist is drawing from old original dreams and the practical needs of life....

Looks like there might be room to build another dock off the shoreline dock so you would have the existing sport boat in between two docks and room for a third boat on the other side, providing there's enough water depth there.
