I cross the Broads all the time in my 16 foot boat but you have to use judgement. Days when the wind goes over 10 mph, I avoid crossing.

Yes you do cross the Broads coming from Moultonboro to Merideth but you can minimize your exposure by going under Long Island Bridge then head directly towards Shep Browns behind Bear Island and then take a right after Cattle Landing. There is a LOT of hazard between Moultonboro and Merideth including: The Graveyard, the 6-pack, the Witches and various other markers along the way. You would want to know what each of these is before taking that trip. As people have said, buy a Bizer and know how to read it (don't forget the compass). A GPS is also a great idea. If you can take that trip with someone familiar with the lake for the first ride....that would be an opportunity you should not pass up.
