Congratulations 280ss, you are now part of the local economy!

Too bad you were taken advantage of. Lakesrider is right, it is unconscionable that Lakeport, or any marina, would do unauthorized work on your boat and not release it without payment. Your description of ransom is spot on. Ignore Jonas, some people are just plain negative by nature and refuse to believe others. I think it's a lack of compassion or bad childhood

You are correct Lakeport doesn't take Amex. They told me it was because of the high fee. Maybe it's because of the excellent protection Winnipiseogee speaks of. I bet Visa and Master Card will be advocates too.

Since Mink offered his far-out opinion, I'll offer mine too. I suspect Mink Islander works at or is a customer of Lakeport Landing. Paying a ransom is not considered authorization or consent. I suspect your card company will agree with the majority on this site and you.

Pineedles makes a great point too. Many of us respect the views of long time lake lovers like you and me. With so many choices on the lake, I will choose other vendors to do business with. Even all the way down in Paugus Bay, you can choose Irwin or Paugus Bay Marine over Lakeport. They are all within 100 yards of each other!

Enjoy your boat and go see the fireworks tonight. Happy 4th to you too!!
