Are you reffering to these videos that I posted a while back from this thread
https://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums...ad.php?t=21020 They had more than one, possibly more than two or three when the speedboat rides where popular. Someone on the forum will know how many they had. I'm not really sure of an exact number. Quote:

Thanks for the cool videos, that's fun to see. There's at least one still on the lake, I believe it lives in the big boathouse on Pick Point in Tuftonborough.

Three years ago...
I encountered one of them while going under the bridge connecting Governor's Island... Driven by a white haired gentleman who waved.
Nostalgia brought me back to when I was 11 and, during a visit to The Weirs, my father promised me a ride on one. Never got the chance. But he soon bought a 19' Slickcraft and Miss (Ms.?) Winni was a thing of the past. |
More info in this thread from a few years ago.

I'm jealous, .... and they probably paid you to do this. You should have worked for free. I have seen different info on how many boats they had, but your comment about 8 boats maybe makes this true as well. Maybe 8 boats at the water ready to take on passengers and 4 boats in for repairs and maintenance. It must have been a site to see back then if there was group of them all together. Quote:
