APS...

The only "RIGHTS" we have as citizens of the United States are those guaranteed by the Constitution of The United States of America. These rights are then expounded upon by the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire. Everything else is a personal freedom. Personal freedoms are subject to restriction and revocation.

Unfortunately you do not have a "RIGHT" to unbroken sleep. You have a reasonable expectation. There are no time limits for when someone can use the lake. I agree that both boaters in this instance were inconsiderate to say the least. At 2am or 6am when all is quiet and the ambient noise very low, any noise will seem loud and obrutrusive even a perfectly legal exhaust. There is a noise statute, and maybe that needs some revision. Perhaps the new switchable exhausts should be discussed.
