OK, so it sounds like we are all in agreement then.
A "compromise" nighttime speed limit will be established using information obtained from;
1) A reputable performance boating reference (A well-known and respected performance boating authority who can surely not be accused of bias against GFBLers), and using the planing speeds they have already found by testing actual boats in real-life fresh-water conditions.
2) The official NH boat registration database, provided by an elected Republican State Representative, to catalog the model distribution of motor-powered boats registered for use principally on Lake Winnipesaukee in 2009.
This information will establish the speed below which 99% of the boats registered for use principally on Winnipesaukee have been proven to reach plane (the"planing speed", as defined by the reference), and that speed will be the "compromise nighttime speed limit", supported by all the SL opposing members of this forum, no matter what it is.
And, all SL opposing members of this forum agree to abide by the newly established limit, no matter what it is.
Do we have a deal? Yes or No. Please just post "I agree" or "I do not agree". Let's see who is willing to put their boating where their mouth is. And no backing out afterward if you see that the number is a lot lower than you expected.
