I think you probably believe the things you are saying. But you should realize that the average citizen is not going to buy your arguments. And they own the lake.
Ask a few average citizens if they think boats should be allowed to go 160 mph on Lake Winnipesaukee. I doubt 1 in 10 will say yes. 160 mph is just to fast for a congested lake our size! At speeds like that a horrific accident is just one little miscalculation away. If a boat loses control at 160 mph and hits a crowded Weirs Beach, how many will be killed?
In a couple of years will we see a boat that goes 200 mph or 250 mph. Where does it end, how fast is to fast for this lake? Give me a number!
And I'm sure you know I'm not against water-skiing. That accident is the answer to a question by codeman671 "Show me an accident on Winni or in NH for that matter that has a fatality and was due to excessive speed with no alcohol involved."
