The size of the boat will matter - my family has a 30 ft Searay, and technically to have it on the road requires the use of a commercial truck as it is an oversize load. We had ours in a slip at a marina, and drove up every other weekend instead of hauling the boat for this reason.
If there is a marina on the larger lake, that is a good place to start as well - if people have boats housed on the lake, or use the lake frequently, the marina will be a good networking place and may also know about the type of usage a boat gets.
Dry storage or wet storage is another issue - If a boat is already in the water, you will want to see if you can get it on the dock to inspect the hull for age and water damage.
Where do you plan to keep the boat? If you are keeping it at the smaller lake, will you have it in the water or on a trailer?
