Question What defines working

This is New Hampshire, not not New York. What works in NY may not necessarily work in NH. We on Lake Winnipesaukee have a 150' safe passage rule. NY does not.

I don't agree with an arbitrary limit. I think reasonable & proper for the conditions will work just fine.

First let me also say the tour boat tradgey has nothing to do with speed limits; it might have a lot of applicability in other debates. Second I have no idea of how to objectively prove or disprove whether LG's speed limit is working or not. What defines working ? Lastly let remember the LG is not Winni. It's smaller and more crowded. Last annual boat count on an Aug day tallied 10,517 vessels on the lake. Tossing out sailboats, canoes, PWCs, etc you get 6624 boats.
