Ok, just try paddling a kayak across the main lake on any weekend this summer. I bet you would see the need for a speed limit pretty fast.

How "GFBL" boats don't belong on Winni (what exactly does belong on Winni and who decides that? I thought this was America and we could make our own decisions on how we choose recreate?) But maybe I am mistaken? When was freedom of choice removed?

Freedom of choice happenes to belong to all boaters, not just the fast powerboaters.

... The Go-Fast boats are an even smaller percentage of that! Yet they are the target du'Jour. After them, its on to the big cruisers!

A speed limit isn't a hp limit! It's not targeting any type of boat.

There are no accident statistics that point to a problem with speed. The Marine Patrol would be the first ones to be screaming if speed were an issue anywhere in NH.

How many lakes in NH have a daytime speed limit? This has been pointed out many times: without a speed limit law, speed is rarely going to be sited as the reason for an accident.
