Agreed. Come to our town, take up dock space and parking, then motor people away from our tax-paying restaurants and bars to spend their money--no thanks.

Laconia has some sort of no-compete agreement with the Mount... that's why the Tiki Boats, the Winni Belle and now the Dive cannot use the Weirs docks.

I suspect however they could strike a $$ deal with a local marina for pick up/drop off!

If the Dive can replace the lower units on their outboards to a more "work boat" friendly setup.... they will be able to move about the lake next year easily.

For $250 The Dive can get one of those blue Sun Dolphin Bali 13'6" x 34", 70-lb, capacity 500-lb, two seater plus, sit-on-top family kayaks from the Plymouth Walmart, and just let the customers paddle it themselves ........ it can even be hand paddled with just arms and hands ..... no paddles ...... a courtesy kayak .... boat to barge ..... barge to boat ..... boat to boat ..... boat to shoreline for a quick pee..... sounds like fun ..... helloooo, WHO needs the kayak? ....... and where-o-where is the kayak? ...... more user friendly than a stand up paddle board ...... where to Governor? ....... paddle-ho ho ho!
