LOL -- well seems we have one solid vote, but it is only Meredith Bay, leaving a whole lot of Lake yet to be counted (or guessed at).

As far as the Dollars -- STOP trying to get a depreciated value - it's just a fun exercise.

For me, given the number of high end cruisers ($250k-350k) combined with the more popular runabouts ($70k-$125k) add in the smaller one, including those little dinghy's with a 10 hp ($150.00 - $25k) and just for spice, don't leave out those MEGA boats like the Galeon & 50' Regal recently posted ($600k-$900k)...……. I'd guess it's safe to use a $60k - arguably as high as $100k figure as the average.

( this is because I feel there are a whole lot of 28'-35' cruisers tilting the number scale)…………. just my view -- but then again, there aren't a whole lot of those up through Moultonboro - So I can be swayed easily


Also - keep in mind the MVYC alone has 258 boats resident (not including their valet).
