When you say LG guys not sure who you are talking about but I called every single Marina / Yacht club listed on the lake and got know where. The answer was always the same. We can't help you. Good luck with the future. Paddle boat sales have to going up at the lake.

Gee,
I live on Rockhurst point and there are 3 Marinas near me that can launch your boat......
Castaways
Fischers
Mooring Post

I have launched my 36OL in all of these at one time or another.
Hope that helps. As far as transient docks, thats another story but most waterfront Hotels have docking accomadations.
Like I said at the beginning of this thread, lots of laws but still the best lake I have ever been to. Thats why I bought a house there.
And yes, property is still going for 1 million + for a tear down.

He said lots not condos, and $500K on LG is cheap. Only condos that are sitting are Sagamore. Houses aren't. Not to mention that the houses selling are for way more than $500K. more like 2-3 million.

Tic riden? Yea, we have tics. Its the Adirondack Park. Ya know, woods wild animals and no traffic. no smog, and taxes on a 3 million dollar house equal what you pay for a $200K house.

All that exhaust from the traffic sitting on the LIE kills anything.

Sounds like a fun place to go NOT
What a shame

If you want to drink and boat, and run loud exhaust, than its best you stay off Lake George. For everyone.

If your 27 Baja is barely on plane at 45, something is wrong with it.

THE LGPC is a basically a racketeering organization. They require you buy permits(for boats, docks, dock repairs/changes, etc) and then go around checking for permits all day. That is about all they do. They cater to nobody except there own very liberal/ big govt control mindset. You could be the richest resident with the biggest land and they will still hound you endlessly about your dock, your boat permits, whatever. They will do anything to maintain there own fleet of no-work jobs by making trying to make something out of nothing.

Very Strong words you bet. You are from Lake George correct! You are Performance Marine correct!. Ok you set the record straight. Where do people launch 35'-45' foot boats on the east side of the lake. With Parking for Trucks&Trailers. Oh don't forget to include the name and Location of the Marina/Resort with Transient slip availability. Power would be nice. Maybe Bathrooms and showers not alot to ask for for a Lake that has 1.5 Mil. so called lots with a view.

You are Performance Marine. You must have a Launch and Transient slips yes???

If you call Performance, Jason or John or Rick will be sure to know 100% of the answers to your questions.

Well from what I heard last year, because of the number of complaints they received from lakeside home owners about the "Poker Run" the LGPC told DEC to pull the permits.
I would say that was catering to the $$$$ people.
Now this year beacuse of the outcry from the business who lost a good chunk of change late in the season with the cancelation, They're going to allow performance boats run over a 2 mile closed course the weekend of the "Queens Race"

WOW. They should button their shirts before their hearts fall out.

Huntington isn't East Hampton. About 70 miles short if I remember right.

Houses a mile or so in each directions aren't water front. Who cares what they cost. A lot less than a house on LI that is identical.

Yea, taxes on LG can be $12K. Unless you live in a shack on a postage stamp lot on LI, your taxes are worse.

Having a performace boat on a Lake with a 45 MPH speed limit is like having a hot girlfriend who doesn't put out.:(
