Most all the reasons FOR a speed limit are really great BUT go ahead and make the speed limit 25 all the time and it won't change most of the concerns stated. Boats will still be close to each other going too fast , they'll still be too close to shore , to close to docks , to close to swimmers , discourteous boater , clueless boaters , the Alton Bay camp director will still have to worry about his kids when they're out in a sail boat ( if he doesn't he better be replaced). Weekends will still be overly crowded. I've been on the lake in a 17 footer on the week end and a speed limit won't change the water conditions with all the boats present. Stop and think for a minute...if you removed all the other boats and left the go fasts , that would eliminate most all the problems previously stated by other people. This of course is not the answer , but mark my words "Neither is a speed limit".
But I guess all of you who are FOR it will have to be shown the truth after it passes
OK , I'm off my soap box
