Something similar was done on the lake about 20 years ago. A large barge complete with grills for cooking and a great stereo system. It was around for a couple of years and then it was left on the back side of Stonedam Island for quite some time.

I think it never proved to be commercially viable. It was at the boat races in the Broads with a large crowd on it and that would have been about 1996. Other people may have more information than I do.

However, if you do buy this one I have a 54 foot slip you could rent. The next move is yours!

We were at Naswa last summer for their Mardi Gras Labor Day party when we saw a totally tricked out Tiki pontoon making the rounds. Wish I had a picture - it looked pretty good! Anyone have a picture they could share? Can't be too many of them floating around

I saw that Tiki pontoon 2 years ago when I stayed across the bay from the Naswa, it was pretty cool. No pictures though, sorry.

that tiki pontoon makes its birth in lakeport just before the dam

Either the same one or different boat. There was one at the foot of Varney Point.

The barge was used, sometimes, as a floating platform for bachelor parties. I spent time one afternoon, watching the strippers, strip! Probably not real popular with the other neighbors. Never saw anything on the Lake like it before, or since! It didn't last long before it was abandoned.

That party pontoon looks super-duper......super nice construction and design.....and it could rent an over night mooring at Fay's....and probably be very welcome there?

53' long and the width looks to be maybe 12'? .... and asking $72-thousand dollars

Believe that as long as it is on the move, constantly moving even at a super-slow speed of say 1/2-mph with a person steering at the helm, it could stay out all summer long on Lake Winnipesaukee. It could travel around the lake all summer long, and never stop....for an endless summer party....and rename this pontoon the "Endless Summer" ...... think I'll go email a lowball offer of $4999. to Louisiana ... weeeeeoooooooo! ..."at night the whole boat glows with red led lights"

Blue Thunder · 01-20-2015, 03:28 PM

down to $57K...c'mon someone must want to do this

Were a well-run, responsible, mega multi-million dollar casino operation to go into the prime, super-duper, seasonally vacant, super commercial space that is huge and dominates Lakeside Ave, Weirs, now occupied by the NH Veterans' Campground & Cottages ..... a boat just like this one could be docked nearby across the avenue at the Weirs close to the Mount Washington ... and used for daily food, beverage, and musical entertainment cruises...operated by the casino....seems like a good fit...anyone remember the Queen of Winnipesaukee, a 50' or so sailboat that used to dock at the Weirs in the 1990's and do daily cruises...that was a popular boat ride...and this 53'x12' party pontoon could be named the Winni Queen....this pontoon glows red at night...and would be a good visual advertisement for the new casino.

Excuse me while I email Senator Lou D'Allesandro, (Democrat), a hard-working state senator from Manchester who is a big supporter for building a destination casino and ask him to start thinking about a Weirs Beach casino and party boat combination. What does Lou think?

Does anyone remember "Patrick's" party boat? That was a thriving little business, right there.It would go out on the lake at night with a rock band on the roof, and 40 or so, on board...it would come thru the Hole in the Wall...and we'd hoot and holler..(knew the captain)

Some people just have way to much money for their own good! Ever seen the show on T.V. "EPIC" they showcase "Epic Homes" and "Epic MotorHomes" and that type of thing. Even if I had the money why do I need gold laced everything in a motorhome? I suppose it's all relevant, if you have it why not???

fatlazyless · 01-21-2015, 10:41 AM

53'x12' ...... on second thought, am not too sure about the width, and maybe it is 13' or 14' wide.....12' was just a best guess?
