We've seen posts from other threads where boaters on other lakes find it simpler to rent a boat on Winnipesaukee for an occasional day than to trailer over, wait at the launch ramp on both lakes, etc.

Maybe take a look at something like a used Cobalt R5 or R7 surf. One of those would be a good compromise. They still have a deep V for handling the heavy chop on the lake, but also have surfing capability. They don't produce is as good of a wave as a purpose built wake surfing boat, but certainly good enough. The newer R6 & R8 do produce such wakes as they have the Malibu surf system, but they have less deep of a V as an R5/7, so you lose a bit of performance in the chop. They'd also be much more expensive than an R5/7.
