For FLL: Not so many 16-17' boats around anymore. More like 22-28' which tend to be at least 8.5' wide, maybe more as you get past 24'. 'toons tend to be 8.5' beam as that's a trailerable size now.
From John Mercier: "Is Wolfeboro more ''upscale'' than Meredith or Laconia?"
Laconia is a distant 5 on a scale of 1-3 upscale. I'd say Meredith and Wolfeboro are on a par. Good variety of businesses in a compact walkable area. Laconia is stretched out from downtown, all along Paugus Bay to the Weirs. It wasn't so long ago that the Weirs had two dance halls, two bowling alleys, 2 mini-golf courses, some arcades and a drive-in theater. They've lost a lot of that business variety. Converting Weirs area hotels/motels to condo's and short term rentals has certainly changed spending habits in the area. More upscale? or drive/boat to Meredith?
