To Boat on Winni or Not to Boat on Winni..Changed for 2016 and I need input

I have some friends that have their slip there- can't speak on the service, but the facility is beautiful. Plus- the added bonus of walking to Meadowbrook!

I personally don't mind trailering, It keeps the boat cleaner as it doesn't sit in the water all summer, saves me money by not having to rent a slip. and gives me the best flexibility of where I want to go for the day. As another poster said, there are TONS of options for boating in the area so why limit your self to Winni?

On weekends we will trailer up to winnisquam simply for the fact that Winnisquam has a great public boat ram as well as the fact that winipesaukee gets too rough to be enjoyable on our 18 foot boat. If we have the day off during the week then we will head over to Winnipesaukee.

If we want to go out for a cruise or do some water sports after work we can go over to the Merrimack river.

It helps to have a nice big garage to store my boat in at home, keeps me from having to cover it from the weather.

Are there any charts for the river? I would love to explore it.

What part of the merrimac? I live in Newburyport and have a 17'....

Actually my inlaws have a place on newfound and they may be able to get a mooring for $800 for the year in the complex that they are part of. Just need a small boat to get to it! But they have a summer camp there and we can pretty much go when we like. Major perk!

So $800 sounds great...but again leaves the issue of going to other places. We like Winni. We like Winnisquam. Cannot figure out if we will get worn from Newfound lake real fast and I will just be back square one trailering from NewFound to Winni for the day and back to New Found,. then back home down 93 to Londonderry.
