Pier 19 Country store closed easy access to public boat ramp

Do you know why the barrels are there? Maybe they are going to improve the ramp in coming days. Just a thought.

No it is a spite thing with the store owners and the dock association. Lot of friction there.

I hope you're wrong. Association folks, friends and family should be their low hanging fruit as far as customers go. I know for a fact that we along with friends and family spent over $2,500 in 2020 including gas. I am sure other members spend considerable cash with them too. Why tick us members off? Why tick off the boating public? Must be another reason for the barrels. Time will tell.

I hate to see any boat ramp closed, however if it is privately owned then the true owner does have the option to do with it as they see fit.

However, the docking situation over there has always been questionable as to who owns what..... I had heard the story (no idea if it is true) that at one time many years ago the store owned all the boat docking spaces but over the years have sold them off to islanders to generate cash. Did they sell the ramp? Do they own the ramp or does the Town of Tuftonboro own the ramp? Anyone in the know really know for sure?

With that said, if the store does own the ramp then maybe he/she is willing to let folks use the ramp "for a fee", or maybe it is under repair to fix potholes.

The speculation continues......
