New Classification of Boat...

"Freshwater Superyachts" - Inspired by the Ocean. Built for the Lake

Can only imagine the day one of these gets delivered to the big lake... That being said, it's ONLY 10% of the cost as the most expensive listing on the lake currently

During a storm, I'd welcome an overwhelmed boat to tie up to my dock.

Now, I'm ready to make an exception...

Just giving these big fancy houseboats a quick look, it looks like the smallest models are 22'-wide x 75'-long. That will MAYBE fit on the ramp in Meredith at Lovejoy Sands/Shep Brown's double-wide ramp if it can make the left turn off Meredith Neck Rd.

Don't think it would fit any other ramps in Wolfeboro, Alton, Gilford, Laconia, Center Harbor, Moultonborough, or Tuftonboro ....... and ...... it's a MAYBE at the Meredith double-wide?

Please pay $20 to launch at the counter inside store, there, which I suppose should get split $10/$10 between the town and the store.

Perfect for Kanasatka

Size isn't a problem. It's being built by the factories that do modular homes. A fleet of trucks brings the sections to the dock, or, ummm, to some "suitable" location on the lake, and a large crane moves the sections from trailer to water, where they are bolted together. Navigation might be another issue, though. I imagine two helms might be in order, one fore and one aft, to facilitate backing out of, say, Alton Bay.

I like them to be honest
well out of my price range for sure, too big for Winni by any means but to each his own

Great lakes and Lake Mead, I guess. Where else is big enough with fresh water? Champlain maybe?

'Lots of fresh water in Wolfeboro Bay.

Wolfeboro docks--maybe across the ends?

That looks big enough to be a small Walmart.
