Wow, what a statement. Funny thing is that even though I am against a speed limit and do not want to push the GFBL off the lake I do have to agree with some of Fat Jack's statements on this one. I am a property owner on the lake and a NH resident. I do get irritated with people who do not keep their money where they play however I doubt that people would fill their tanks far south of NH with 300 gallons of fuel and trailer the extra 1800-2000lbs of extra weight up instead of filling here. If they do then they probably just spent more gas to get it here and their ignorance shines. I think that is is foolish not to have boats used in NH registered in NH, we should be making money on this and charging out of state rates just like they do with snowmobiles. I think that canning the reciprocity in snowmobile registrations is a good thing.

As far as people from Mass and Maine having a say, well they should. I would guess that there is a large population of properties owned around the lake are owned by people from Mass and Maine, particularly Mass.

I do get frustrated with the noise but honestly find Harleys and other loud bikes to be more irritating and reckless. I would love to see a sound comparison of bikes and GFBL's by one of the more techno-related posters on this site. How many bike accident related deaths happen in the lakes region per year compared to fatalities from boat accidents?

I do not care for the influx of tourists but it does help our economy. I like our state and personally hate it when I have to go south of the border. The last time I made a M-hole statement on here I got thrashed on so I will refrain. There are good people and bad people from south of the border, unfortunately the lakes region seems to pick up a lot of the bad ones who are reckless on land and water. And are just plain rude...

Where I differ is that I do still say it is the people, not the boats. If a 36' baja has an exhaust system that diverts under water instead of out the hull and cruises the lake at 35mph people will still complain.
