If there is such a concern with noise emanating from the GFBL's why is it illegal in NH to have switchable exhaust systems on lakes? Makes no sense to me. It is not illegal to have thru-hull exhaust and it is not illegal to have exhaust divert through the prop under water so why should it be illegal to switch between the two? Heck, let it rip in the broads but muffle it in the congested areas.

I have been passed by pontoon boats that can now do over 45mph, shall we outlaw pontoon boats too? By the way, why have some of the people for speed limits on this site from past posts using gfbl's as their avatar?

This speed limit battle will never be over. Even if it ever passed which I do not think it will the enforceability will be non-existent. The budget is tight enough as it is that they will never be able to afford enough MP and equipment to enforce it. The revenue generated from tickets will not offset it. My vote has and always will be "NO SPEED LIMIT"!!!
