The FBOs there are:
-
Eagle East Aviation
Phone : 978-683-3314
An customer-service oriented FBO with 11 airplanes (Cessnas 152 and 172, including a 2000 one, Pipers Warrior 160 and 180, an Arrow, and an Aztec). Also an AST 300, and a candy machine (I guess the guy I interviewed was jocular). The staff include 8 instructors, and six full-time mechanics. There's a CATS testing center in the premises. Their rates as of November 2000 include $55 for the 152s, $68 for the 172s and Warriors ($77 for the 180, and $88 for the 2000 172), $85 for the Arrow and $175 for the Aztec. Instruction was $30.
Some elements of their rental policies (which are similar to what you'll find elsewhere): thorough check-outs including weight & balance and cross-country planning, a 4-hour minimum daily rental, a 24h-cancellation policy (half the rental time is charged otherwise), and the need to carry you own liability.
