How many boats on the Lake

boat_guy64 · 10-02-2020, 10:54 AM

I actually wrote down the MVYC number

It was 244 docks + 160 valet = 404.
I was in the rack system years ago and can't remember if it was 2 or three boats high. I assumed 2.
I didn't count the valet docks and made a guess at the number of boats in the valet racks.

I bet I'm correct within a 100

And if not....it was all for fun.

BTW.....Alton has 1387....so a sub total of 5610 so far.

I have a minute so with the Towns you have labored to count at this point, we have 5.9K boats:

5.9K * 13.6K = 80.2M
5.9K * 80K = 472M

Averaged that give us ~$276M

Disclaimer....I counted them but I'm sure I made lots of mistakes, got lost a few times, got interrupted, I'm getting old...

With that said

Meredith - 1412
Laconia - 1114
Gilford - 1697
Alton - 1387
Wolfeboro - 540
Tuftonboro - 871
Moultonborough - 1970
Center Harbor - 59
------------------------------------
Total - 9050

How do you come-up with these numbers.
I am sure you did not count every single boat.

I have also been curious about gas usage on a summer weekend.
How many gallons ?

As best as I could with the method described earlier in the thread, I counted them. Learned a lot about the lake following every foot of shorefront and have some places to boat to that I've seen on the map that I haven't been to yet.

How did you deal with the islands? At any given time islands boats may be on island or at a marina or at town docks like Glendale or on a trailer or under way.

have a minute so with the Towns you have l counted at this point, we have ~ 9K boats:

9K * 13.6K = 122.4M
9K * 80K = 720M

Averaged that give us ~$421M

I didn't include the 22 valet docks but I'll claim close enough.

The 284 slips are the slips that have owners. The valet slips are a different story but I would assume that the count you used for valet boats would include that since those slips are not assigned to a specific boat.

Now you just need to sit at the ramps and count the day trippers.
