My only concern with the Wolfeboro docks is the relative narrowness, IMHO, between docks. Of course no where near as narrow as at the Weirs. We have docked in Wolfeboro and have pulled down deep into the dock area, only to have two cruisers dock on either side of the ends of the dock. On a windy day, it can be challenging, to say the least, to have to back out, especially on a windy day, with the wind being a crosswind across the docks.
My wife and I have often thought how nice it would be to take out one finger dock, build a dock across the retaining wall, and extend the finger docks out, similar to the Meredith dock setup.
As far as a dockmaster is concerned, I would not want to see a charge for short term docking, but could see the charge for overnight docking. One nice thing about having the dockmaster present would be he/she could help prevent the inconsiderate boater from pulling in and taking up what amounts to two docking spaces, who don't bother moving the boat while tying up so as not to take up unneeded space.
