Congrats! A white and green Four Winns bowrider with a bimini is gonna blend right in. Best put a name on the transom if you want to stand out at all.
Alton Bay is a piece of cake compared to Moultonboro Bay. You'll have no trouble there. There's only maybe 10 markers in the whole bay and most are off the beaten path, so to speak, or close to shore. The only one that's not is FL23 off Sandy Point. I have seen many people go around the wrong side of it and suspect it's not a problem to do so unless you draw more than 6 feet.
For anchoring and swimming, there's some great spots on the lake, but they can get crowded on weekends. Look for "no rafting" zones on your chart. Braun Bay and Small's Cove (just about everyone calls it "Sleeper's" though) are two of the more popular places. I have never tried it, but 20 Mile Bay looks like it would be good as well.
