Under a buck a litre and I'm happy . Built in fenders . Just pull up throw a line to a Bikini clad Dockhand and have an ice cold beer waiting . But having a Bikini fueling my boat that I would be willing to pay a premium for .

good solid docks with proper cribbing on the sides and solid properly spaced cleats to start. Then all the rest of the stuff like the 5 Bs:ernaehrung004:

Bikini clad fuel girls? Is that OSHA approved?:evilb:

Why cover up the goods with bikini's. Topless fuel girls would pack em in.

Really, just good docks and fast service. I hate standing around for 20 minutes plus to get a beer.

I agree 100% with the parking and calm water. There are places I won't go on a Saturday simply because I don't want my boat getting bounced into the dock.

Dock Girls are definately a plus, but Let me add that it is important that they have a clue what they are doing. If they don't have a clue they are more of a nuisance because I still have to give them a tip and they are ultimately in my way. I would much rather look at a dock girl but when it comes to skills the guys working the docks at Captain Rons, and Jolly Rogers are way better at whay they do than the cute females at other establishments. I won't mention where but one afternoon we stopped someplace and the girl tied us off (so I thought), had her tip, and was off to the next boat. Once I got out I realized that the bow line wasn't even tied off (just laying near the cleat) and the the stern line was so slack that my swim platform was actually touching the the dock.

For me it is important that there is something to keep my kid entertained. A Beach, a play area, an arcade, carp to feed etc. etc. It is a fact of life for me that we take our kid with us most weekends and I will ultimately go to establishments that he is having fun. If he isn't happy, mom and dad aren't happy!!

Lastly, I like to go places that I can view other boats parking and going by. So seating that has a view of the water is also key IMOA.

Good luck with the project.

Whatever happened to Millstone Lodge, I havent been to loto in aobut 8yrs (moved to florida) that use to be a great place, It was open but the docks sucked Is it still alive there???

Nice docks (w/help) are a must...but I also think a really great steak and real seafood place would be nice instead of all the typical crap bar food.

Millstone Lodge is no more--a large condo project is being built on the property

Whee and what is the name of the place the serves deep fried lobsters at LOTO?

I vote for "BOATERS ONLY"
