I pause, then go past the waiting boats to tie up. I believe some boaters can't judge the space available or they are afraid to traverse the narrow lane between boats.
I never have to wait for a spot at Wolfeboro, but I do not think I am cutting the line when I take a spot that others can't see or are afraid to use.

I agree with you to a point. I usually make eye contact and point to said spot and if the person declines then I have no qualms about taking the spot. If the other boater doesn't see it I think it is kind of rude to just take it.
I have experienced it from the other side and it is infuriating when someone just blasts in and cuts the line. Just breathe and count to 10. Cutting a boat loose is not the answer as you would end up being liable and would have to answer to the MP.
