Waterfront but no boat

And to be very honest, I always think about a bigger boat for the weekend, when I have guests, but unless you have guest often, this isn't really a big deal.

I used to think this, too. But several years with a small boat on Winnipesaukee has proved this to not be true. It's almost impossible to go anywhere on the weekends with a 17' powerboat. I upgraded to a 23' boat, and the difference is night and day.
