Maybe the M.V. Winnipesaukee Belle, a 65-ft replica 19th-century paddleboat with capacity of 120 to 150 passengers, operated by Mount Washington Cruises could occupy the Lake Winnipesaukee spot at the West Alton sandbar formerly 'owned' by the now destroyed 'The Dive' which was a 62-ft barge.

M.V. Winnipesaukee Belle never showed up on July 1 to its' Meredith town dock, and continues to be stored high up the repair, dry-dock ramp, out of the water on Center Harbor bay.

M.V. Winnipesaukee Belle has a bow mounted gangway that can probably be used by customers to access the Belle from the shallow sandbar water in West Alton, similar to The Dive.
