First Time Boating on the Lake

[FromDownSouoth]

I greatly appreciate everyone's input here. Local knowledge is irreplaceable. If it helps, our house will be over in the Leavitt Park area, toward Little Loon island- not too far from Center Harbor. I figure that if I take a rental, I would probably rent out of Trexlers- which would require a trip across the lake to get the boat to the house.
