Please Help the Newbie - Good Boat Slip vs. Bad

Lake Newbie · 10-04-2007, 11:47 AM

We've been coming to the lake area for years, but we're new to boating. We're considering buying a house (hopefully with dock access) and since we are novices I was hoping to get some advice. I'm sure, as with all things, all coves and boat slips on the lake are not created equally.

We've been looking in Meredith, although we're not tied to any specific location.

- What should we be aware of when looking at dock space?
- Are there any coves or areas on the lake that are notoriously bad for navigation?
- Are some areas more difficult due to large areas of low wake restrictions?

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. My fear is that some things that seem like a great deal, may not be such a great deal afterall.
