It's painful trying to find lakes that allow motor boats in Massachusetts. It seems like every search dead ends with either a no-motor regulation or a half-assed site trying to see something but offering nothing useful in return. In the process, I stumbled into the Mass Wildlife Pond Maps website which is a nice resource for scouting expeditions in the trolling motor-powered Game Changer.

Gas Motor Friendly Bass Ponds and Lakes of Massachusetts
I can feel the pull of a new boat purchase getting stronger. And since there are no new bass boats posted on Craigslist's Boston, North Shore, South Shore, Lower New Hampshire, Maine, or Connecticut sites that I haven't already scouted, it's time to make a list of boat-accessible bodies of water in the great state of Massachusetts. For now, this will serve solely as a reference to raw materials but that may evolve over time.
Criteria for this list is must be within an hour (more of less) of FWD headquarters which is just north of Boston and must be motor friendly.

Located less than two miles from FWD Team Member Tommy, The AssWomp and it's neighbor Long Pond are two of the largest and supposedly best fisheries in MA. We shall see.
is.
Hamilton Reservoir
The Hammy is way to far from home to even be listed here. However it just happens to be on the way to Uncle Soeren's house. Suppose we're headed down there and I just happen to have a boat in tow and gear on board...
Lake Chaubunagungamaug,
Beyond it's very entertaining name, this place is on the list because the terrain looks phenomenal and it too is on the way to Uncle Soereno's house.

Lake Cochituate,
Finally, a lake within easy striking distance for the North Shore contingent of the FWD team. Plus it looks like different parts of the lake are accessible by boat. Need to do a bit more homework on this one but could be a gem.
Long Pond,
(See Assawompset)
Norton Reservoir,
Can't find anything that confirms Norton is motor friendly but it's close enough to Tommy to include. Plus that island in the middle looks interesting.

Quabbin Reservoir,
Awesome. Can't wait to hit this one. Should be an awesome place to run the new fish finder's down and side imaging.
