Toytime,

Welcome! Congrats on deciding to become boaters. It's a wonderful lifestyle.

Random advice: If you plan to boat on Winnipesaukee, be sure to get a chart. It's a very tough place to navigate without one. I dropped a bit more money on a GPS chart plotter and think it's the best boating investment I have ever made. Get certified, shop around, and test drive more boats (and do so in heavy chop, this is very important). Shopping is fun. Set aside money for accessories like two anchors, comfy PFDs, boat hook, docklines, fenders etc. Get a bimini top with the boat you buy. Being in the sun all day can get old.

Be sure to try a Regal too. I've had two now and really like them.
