Winnipesaukee belle updates

The Winni Belle was purchased as a used vessel when it was trucked to the lake in 1998. It was launched in Alton and got hung up on the dock next to the ramp. It had to be lifted and shifted to one side to get it into the water.

Last year it underwent a substantial amount of work while it was on land at Fay's Boatyard. When it left there it still needed a lot more work

Many people think it is a paddle wheel boat but the paddle wheels are just for show. It is propelled by two I/O's.

Sorry for the photo quality. I took it in 1998 with some old technology.

I corrected the date that it arrived at the lake. I should have remembered that my daughter was with me and she was born after 1985, the year I first posted. My bad!
