Hey GWC:
Aside from what I think of it personally (and the Romney Boathouse for that matter as well) ...they were built legally, with permits (to the best of my knowledge). If they followed the rules and were done legally...well.....then fine. However, would you build an expensive structure when there was litigation pending? I'm not so sure....curious as to what others might think. McD

PS - I still don't understand how a dug-in boathouse is more ecologically-friendly than an over-the-water boathouse. How can dredging "962 cubic feet of lakebed over 47 feet of shoreline to create a 1,360-foot boathouse" not be intrusive on the shoreline? It boggles the mind.
