Something was "broke" at Lake George, and it sure was "broke" to the "bunch" at Barnegat Bay.
Lake George is presently "fixed", while New Jersey remains...well...
New Jersey.

New Jersey: The Superfund State
|
While accidents were going down, fatalities were shooting
up: Off the coast, a cruiser running at top speed ran down fishermen in a 20-foot boat.
Three brothers died together in their GFBL.
Those were alarming headlines to read about in one season.
But here's the "Marine Mafia" talk that shot down New Jersey's boating speed limit. (New Jersey's restrictive boating-noise laws were the next to fall to monied interests).

"...You need to get organized, hire a law firm/lawyer and start writing/e-mailing/phone calling your state reps. Is there (sic) any major political races happening in NJ this Nov.? What are the Hi-Performance Marinas saying about this? Are they even aware of this issue? If not, get them up to speed ASAP! Look at these websites to see how we approach waterway restrictions.

www.cfw.org
This effort won't be cheap, so you need to prepare to "Step up" with $$$$$!
Starting a Non-Profit "New Jersey Boaters Rights" group will make this less costly, and add credibility to your cause."

Now, what group would be analogous to
"New Jersey Boaters' Rights"? The
NHRBA?
Isn't NJ
"Hi-Performance Marinas" analogous to NH
"Whalley's" monied interests?
BTW:
"Standing-Watch", and
"cfw" are currently devoted to removing speed limits from endangered marine-mammal habitat.
Since humans aren't endangered, Winnipesaukee only has loons to worry about.
I mean the waterfowl-kind.
