There is one statistic you may have missed. Not long ago one of our Bear Island neighbors was killed by a high performance boat. That boat was going at a speed that will be illegal if HB162 is passed. For most island residents that is the only statistic we need.

I know that many will quibble and try to explain away or excuse this "statistic".

What about the "personal freedom" of the rest of us that don't need to go 90 MPH. Offshore boats and huge cabin cruisers were designed for the ocean, not 150' (or less) from our docks.
