How Big Can You Go?

Any way I could learn your key to success?

That does seem quite excessive for this lake given that the median size of the owners that reponded to the poll is around 25'. I'd venture a guess that 90% of people that oppose this idea, though, are doing so more out of jealousy than anything else. If it were me I'd pick the place with the nicest view and buy that, and have a full fleet of boats and call it good.

If you bring it, please cruise into Center Harbor at full throttle. We miss the huge waves that the Mount used to generate.

I suggest that as one gets older, Jealousy becomes much less a significant factor in ones life. Most of the people on this board are probably well beyond that emotion.

Assuming that you are serious:

The biggest travel lift on the lake is at Irwins in Laconia and it will not lift anything near that size. In addition to that, there is no way to get a vessel of that size to the travel lift and any vehicle hauling it will scrape on the ground as it exits Union Avenue. There are also the obvious problems hauling anything of that size over the road.

The only docks on the lake capable of accommodating a vessel of that size are at Silver Sands. Even if you assume that they will remove several long-term tenants to benefit you, the depth will be a problem.

I assume that you are joking but you should know that the only thing that has prevented someone with the resources to bring a vessel of this size to the lake has been common sense, good judgment, and logistical problems. Sometimes, all the money in the world's cannot buy good judgment.

Let's hope that impediment continues indefinitely!
