Keeywaydin Island. Just south of Naples Harbor, a couple of miles from Marco Island.

If this works (and I am lousy at computers) there should be some good aerial photos here:

Relationship to Winnipesaukee: Ah.......Ah...........I have used the same boat on Winnipesaukee?

Looks like a great place to hang on that island. Funny seeing a pontoon boat with no sidewalls. I kind of like it.

Looks like that might be one of those PEDAL toons...

Nice! What a cool little toon!
Who manufactures that?

Well..................I built it with a very good friend. He is way more talented than I am for carpentry and assembly. We worked together and I learned a lot.

I just started with two 25 inch diameter pontoons, had them shortened, and then built the frame, and kept going. Great stereo, and acceptable drink holders and good to go. I wanted it to fit in the Florida garage. The trailer has a swing away tongue and it misses the front garage door by 2 inches. The tops of the seats miss the opening in the garage by 1 inch. It steers with a stick between the two front seats.

The trim around the outside of the deck came from Bennington and the dashboard is really a WalMart cutting board. (I noticed it in the store when I was shopping for noodles)

The second picture is after we put the frame and deck on it. (But there was plenty more work to do)

Wow nice work! Very impressive little Florida toon!

That looks like a nice place to enjoy. I have flown in to Marco Island Airport. I was on a mission to get boat lift controller parts so it was a quick turn.

It is very nice and a real party spot, especially on weekends. I have had to go up and down a couple of times just to find an opening to pull in. During the week it is much less crowded. The drop off is quick so when you beach your boat the stern is still in 3 feet of water.

If you had one of the boats below you could sell your boat lift. As the second picture shows you do have to be aware of the tide change. The owner took it in stride, when I went by he was sitting in the back seat having a drink. (Maybe it wasn't his first drink of the day!)

I don't want to post too much because someone will mention thread hijacking or what relationship it has to Winnipesaukee. It is nice to look at and maybe uplifting during the long NH winter.

I thought that was Keeywaydin Island, in Naples, just off Marco Island beach.

Been there MANY times, and it's a pristine,paradise found... Shssss keep this quiet !

When you register a new boat ask for appropriate bow numbers!

I was at MP in Glendale today and registered. No lines, no waiting.
However, I did learn that right after ice-out there was a deluge of registrations mailed to Concord and they are somewhat behind. To quote A A Milne:"Be patient, Piglet. A rescue is being thought of."

[Little Bear]

Yesterday I stopped at MP Headquarters in Glendale to renew registrations for 2 of my boats. One boat is registered in my name, the other is registered in my wife’s name. (Note: my wife has the same last name and address as me)

When I got to the counter, the woman first asked for my ID. I thought this was a bit unusual to just renew registrations, but OK, no problem. Gave her my ID.

She then looked at both registration renewal forms and told me that she could only process the one that was in my name, and would not process the one in my wife’s name. Huh? I argued that we have the same last name and address, but she held her ground and refused. She said that my wife has to personally renew the one in her name.

I have never heard of anything so ridiculous. I have personally renewed the registration in my wife’s name every year since we bought the boat 6 years ago. I have never been asked for an ID to register a boat for the past 30 years that I have owned a boat in NH. Every year I register cars that are in my wife’s name without hassle and without producing an ID to do so.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this, either at MP HQ or at an Agent?

I intend on calling the Commissioner of the Department of Safety today to get clarification on this.
