I will look more into the lakes in maine though. I think worst case scenario we just fly into the local airport and keep a car there.
Is there any reason you need to take it out of the water?? If you find the right piece of real estate that has some protection from the bigger waves why not leave it in the water??

There is someone on Steamboat Island that does just that. Somehow he moors his plane just off shore and obviously ties it down well but he fly's in and out of his home there. As an fyi, Steamboat island isn't the most protected island on the lake, actually far from it, but he does not seem to have a problem.

Just a thought...
