In addition to what Great Idea said, it also appears to me that there are more Forum posters who don't own high performance boats speaking out against a speed limit compared to past threads.
I think it also remains to be seen that the folks of NH who want a speed limit are in the majority as Great Idea seems to suggest. Many of the speed limit supporters as well as property owners on Winnipesaukee are not NH residents. Its very unclear to me at this time if the majority of NH residents who use Winnipesaukee are for or against a speed limit.
It will be interesting to see once the Summer is in full swing & I begin to see & talk to people where my boat is docked what the consensus is. In past years & to this point now I have not experienced a public outcry for a speed limit from anyone I am in contact with or that there is grave concern for safety because of too many boats going too fast. And I don't know anyone who owns a high performance boat so thats not the reason.
The only complaints about too many boats going too fast that I have heard are on this forum. I have never heard complaints about speeding boats or stories about close calls with speeding boats from anyone I am in contact with.
