   Here is a link to Mousams "hot Dog Lady" at the public beach. Maybe too many "accessories" as Jbear calls it!?

    I think as far as NECC goes, it will probably be a dry run, unless they have a place that we dont know about. After that, it would be cool for those who wanted to drop their boat in and go for cruise. I still dream of the idea of having a CC convoy of all of us, turning some serious heads with the noise and the looks!! Waiting and seeing what NECC does is a good thing.

Ideally, the two-day event would be the best solution. I'm going to track down Craig this week. He should be at the boat show in Boston.

There's also the lake in Milton, NH. I know we all prefer a sandy spot to pull our boats on. The gravel isn't too fiberglass friendly.

I'll speak to Craig and get back to you all. He might be able to shead some more light for us. Keep the ideas coming!

What about having a dry event, like Craig suggested, at his place in Rochester.

If Craig could put a couple of his boats in the marina at 3 ponds, like he does for his demo days, folks could take turns driving over and take a spin behind one of his boats.

Maybe Craig could even sell a boat or two. (Not that sales should be the focus of the event, but if Craig could benefit from this... More power to him.)

Just thinking out loud...

Hey guys,finally got my power back after that crazy wind on friday.Anyway,I wondered about the whole"public beach"thing on mousam.The marina may work,but it's hard to tell how many slips he will have rented from year to year,so dock space may be an issue.I'm not overly familiar with Milton 3 Ponds,but I did fish a bass tournament there last year.We launched at the public beach and it was ok at 6am,but it got really hectic after the tournament because the beach was open.I believe the beach opens at 9 am and you have to pay to launch(not sure).You can pull boats up on the shore by the launch,but I remember it being gravel,not sand,and it gets really crowded.Craig Warner keeps a boat at the marina on Northeast Pond and may have some pull there.Looks like we may be experiencing first hand why he is recommending a dry event.Sorry for the long post,just stuff that keeps coming to mind.

    Well guys, I had dinner with our friends(neighbors)and hate to say it, but I dont think the public beach on Mousam is going to fly easily. The association owns it, but its a public swim area where it might be tough to "block off" to the general public. It would have to go out front of the board, and someone like Keith would have to present it. I know with all the hassles with everyone and the "Hot dog Lady" episode, Im not sure if they want to get involved.
    Thought about combining his place and ours, but there wouldnt be enough room for more than a few boats at the docks, and wouldnt be good for NECC.
    The only thing I have not tried is to see is what the Marina had to offer. Its certainly not going to be a beach, but they do have a 90 foot dock that might hold some. This whole thing depends on how many boats/people are going to attend.
                               Jeff...

    Hey 05 210, we are located on the Shapleigh side of the lake about 1000 feet down from the public beach. Mousam Lake is the lake that made national news about the "Hot Dog" lady at the public beach last year. Its a very clean lake, the beach is all sand with a exception for a single rock on one edge. There is a parking lot opposite the beach. They even put in a porta-potty at the beach.
    I will check with my neighbor (VP of the association) and get his input. I know that he would love something like this and would probably tell me to bring everyone over for a cookout!
    I will keep everyone posted.

Hey Mike,

Glad to see you found us on correctcraftfan.com. We're in the process of pulling this reunion together. Keith, the founder of this site is helping too. Mousam Lake is one of our choices. We're also looking at Milton, NH. Craig at NECC will jump in as soon as we lock in the number of people attending, date and location. I want to say that we've gotten closer to the location, now we need an accurate head-count and date. July is a toasty time of year. What can you tell us about Mousam Lake? Decent beach? Can you pull your boat up on the beach? Clean water? BBQ area?

Stay tuned to this site for more info.

Ken

This was the best site I could find on Mousam Lake in S. Maine. Looks like a huge lake. This is a lake that Keith suggested.

Hope to make it up. My schedule is pretty flexible as it is a no school week. But I am out of town monday and tuesday, so it won't be either of those.

Keith,

Let me know when you speak to Craig. Are you going to the boat show in Boston? NECC is there every year. They've got the nicest display in my opinion.

I'll be in NH tomorrow. I'm going to see if I can check out the two lakes in question.

Hey Stang - Make sure you guys take plenty of pictures of your reunion as we will too.

Ken,

   The only place to stay away from is the cove by the launch. Its shallow in there but navigable. After you launch go to the main body of water. Everything out there is fine (i stay about 100 feet from shore).

Thanks for the information. I'll check it out this summer. Any hidden rocks or shallow spots to worry about?

Ken,

   Indian lake is not a bad lake. Its not that big, about a half a mile long by quarter mile wide. 3.1 miles circumference. The launch is located at Morgan Park. Ive never had a problem launching the boat. Traffic on the lake hasnt been bad in the last couple of years. In the past theyve held hydroplane races and jetski races on the lake at shore park which has facilties, a beach, plenty of parking.

Jeff,
If you don't mind, please check with the marina and your friend. That is the kind of 'connection' we need. Mousam is a great lake and close to NECC. I plan to talk to NECC this week.

Thanks,

    We are on Mousam Lake in Shapleigh, next town over from Sanford Maine. Milton N.H. is the next 2 towns over. I know that Mousam can get busy at the public launch, but the local marina has a ramp w/parking for at least 50 I would say. The lake also has a public beach area owned by the Mousam Lake Region Association where my neighbor is the VP. I might be able to see what the marina will do as well as possibly using the beach and roping it off to swimmers. They hold yearly fishing derbys there as well and can hold quite a few boats. There is also a store right there. Its also close for NECC. I can investigate if anyone is interested. Distance wise isnt too bad because the lake is 50% Mass people Id say. My neighbor lives in Melrose Mass. and comes up every weekend (he is the VP). Its also VERY EASY for everone to find. Hop off   you run into the lake. Keith is also familiar where he goes to Limerick Maine.
    I am not too picky on where we do it, I just want to put these boats in the water and get my feet wet while shooting the breeze. If theres any interest, Im willing to do some research 4 ya guys. At any note, anyplace, in a reasonable distance, Im there!

Ok, many responses across the mighty CCF thread. Here's my vote:

Two-day, big reunion involving one full day in the water, beach, skiing, BBQ, etc. One full day to team up with New England Correct Craft and have a land event. I won't be able to get specifics on Correct Craft's involvement until I get a commitment count and location. The land event is probably when Keith and I can get the vendors involved. I'll work on getting hotel rates for Southern NH (Milton). Any other location much further that that, we'll lose an opportunity with NECC. In the meantime, jump on mapquest to judge your distance to Milton, NH. I'll also call the town to get more details on that park.

That's great that you live on a lake. How is Indian Lake? Easy to launch? Beach?
