I feel valet is the best for me. The boat is not in the sun/rain, subject to potential theft or malicious damage* and is in a building up off the floor - I only have an 18' bowrider. My previous boat could only go on the bottom level due to size and that was nice because I could get in and do things right there. *(I have never heard of any problems with theft or damage at Fay's in valet or in the slips)

The staff, Steve and Bernie are tops. They have always been helpful to me when ever I had a question or needed something.

Call and request to have your boat put in and by the time you arrve it is in the water unless it is really busy and then you might have to wait a few minutes but that is rare. If you come back late, and I have, I always found a place to leave the boat for them to take it out the next morning.

You can work on your own boat there too. They will put it on boat stands in an area where electric and water are close by and you are not in their way.

I am also at Fay's again this year. I have a sailboat at one of the slips. I really like it there, easy to get to, and the broads are just outside the marina more or less. Great location all around.

I am currently researching a story on, and around, this very topic. Access to the lake. It is to be in this Sunday's Union Leader. I ask that any of you that have voiced your opinion on this subject contact me if you are willing to go on record as part of the story. I would need to know today or first thing tomorrow in order to get in contact with you and include your comments/opinion. Thanks.

Just as important are the restrictions placed on boaters once they get on the lake such as rafting.

How about a story on how only 25 people can get a petition to restrict anchored boats within 150 feet of shore that impacts any boater that comes to the lake. In same cases the boat free zones are larger than the property these people own. Maybe we sould be able to do this on our residential streets and culdesacs
