You make excellent points! I think what the supporters don't understand is that people couldn't care less about driving 70,80,90 mph...it's the fact that our freedoms are being stripped away AND...

Well, at least someone in this state has some sense! Thank you Gov. Lynch! I also saw an interview where he said he didn't think he'd pass any unfunded bill in 2008 that may cost additional money to...

Because I just know everyone is dying for me to respond....

I was on the boat as a passenger that day...and last time I checked I was a 'she' not a 'he'. We were not participating (registered or otherwise) in the Poker Run, didn't even know it was happening....

Yeah, maybe I blacked out that day....or possibly I have a twin that drives the same boat. More likely APS assumes every boat on the lake that's a power boat participated in the Poker Run that day...

Um, you've got your facts wrong. I didn't participate in the 2005 Poker Run. Or 2006, or 2007.......
And remembering my speed isn't hard because we drive at about the same speed in open water most...

When you say you turned right 90 degrees are you implying my boat and these 3 others were all within 500 feet? I can't speak for the 3 others but mine wasn't next to them. This is a totally...

This is my boat....

You are correct KonaChick.......I WAS ON the boat when the pic was taken, choppy day going about 50 mph with the trim up. We were not racing, in the 25 years I've been on Lake Winni I've never been...

But you are missing the big picture...

This supports the fact there is no need for a speed limit. And since I pay taxes in 2 NH towns....I REALLY don't want anymore of my money wasted on this effort! There are waaayyyy more important...

Please speak out regarding HB847

I just want to second the above poster who provided details on how to contact your local rep. They are getting hundreds of phone calls per week from supporters of this bill. Trust me, I've attended...

See now your twisting the facts by making is sound like it

was speed that caused any of those accidents....which is was not. I believe the accident reconstruction from the death a few years back put the 'high speed craft' at a whopping 27mph....not to...

I believe the folks that are Pro speed limit are doing it for the wrong reasons....

Let's face it, there's no speeding issue on Lake Winni. Look at the accident stats and get out on the lake for a day....speeding just isn't an issue. The 150ft violations? HUGE issue there and I...

Island Lover, you could double check with the committe on that (perhaps email the chairman?) but my understanding was any decision made on HB847 would come too late to affect 2008 season. The bill...

Couldn't agree with you more there!

After getting some additional info on what 'retaining a bill' means....I thought I'd pass this on:
This means 2 45 mph speed zones pilots will likely be...

Final thoughts...

I've never posted here before but have been reading many of the comments. The decision has been made, no speed limits on large NH lakes. I am glad for this. There simply are no facts based on a...
