Lake Winni Yacht Clubs

I went through a similar search a year ago and ended up buying a slip at Bay Shore Yacht Club in Meredith. So far the cons are tight parking on big summer weekends (but this is true everywhere, so live with it), occasional rock and roll from wakes thrown by big boat scofflaws. Pros: great value, easy access to excellent marina service and storage, and walking distance to all the good stuff in Meredith. Slip owners are friendly and the association is well run by financially responsible people (it is a condo association). Some slips are shallow so think ahead to low levels. Some slips are "tight" so consider your docking skills. Bottom line for me: I love it and would do it again in a heartbeat. Your milage may vary... Check minutes from last owners meeting before you commit, and do not buy the slip next to the gas dock unless you really need deep water with easy access (e.g., fixed keel on a big sailboat) for all the reasons listed by other posters. Location in Meredith was a key positive factor for me. Good luck!
