Boat Rentals

BLUESDUDE · 06-16-2005, 12:50 PM

Hey All

I'm new here. We're renting a house on the lake in July and I was looking to RENT a small simple boat (like an aluminum rowboat with a 10 or 15 HP outboard motor). We're staying in Gilford, but I get no replies at all from Fay's Boatyard or the other one (the name I cannot remember right now.)
Any ideas/suggestions??? I simply want a small boat to be able to take my son fishing, but don't want to pay more for the boat than I paid for the house.

Thanks

Dennis

Try Anchor Marine or Thurstens. Both rent boats, not sure of sizes / rates, etc.

Be aware that on weekends with boat traffic and during weekdays with less boat traffic, but with somewhat windy conditions, that part of the lake can get very rough. A small, light, open boat will be risky at times. Be careful!

not sure how familiar you are with the lakes region, but i would suggest trying out winnisquam marine. they are located right next to the bridge going over lake winnisquam. this is still a good size lake just a short ride from winnipesaukee. i am pretty sure they rent 12 footers w/ 10hp.
