Don't try to muddy the water by saying boats at the legal limit are loud, I'm talking ( as I'm sure most others are) about boats that are obnoxiously loud, ie no or very little sound suppression.
I'm also sure (my opinon here) that if these boats were silenced we wouldn't be debating a speed limit on this lake. (Because no one would notice the fast boats or care).
The Marine Patrol seems to be pretty rigorous at trying to get these boats and force them to be legal and I give them kudos. If the dingalings driving these boats would smarten up many of the speeding complaints would disappear.
Again, my humble opinion.

Again...... Let me start by stating.... I do not like the loud boats either. However, I have made it clear my opinions of freedoms and tolerances and not controlling others.
However, this is where I am sure to get the crowd wanting to lynch me at dawn.
I am glad to see someone FINALLY admit why this speed debate has risen. We all knew it was to get the GF boats to go away and knew speed wasn't the issue. We also were pretty sure that it was discriminatory.
LIKE I SAID... remember, I don't own a go fast boat and can't do over 45mph and isn't loud. However, I felt that this whole issue was inflamatory and un-necessary of our Politicians time. I ASSUMED it was a result of the Sound Ordinance not working well enough and that it was just another attempt for quiet and silence. (which Winni has never been..... but many lakes like Squam or Merry Meeting ARE!)
I am glad to see that after many girations that it is out in the open.
So.... go ahead and fire away.... I have my bullet proof vest on! KIDDING!!!!
