Like others, that oppose the speed limit, I don't think it's being proposed with safety in mind, I think it's being proposed as a means to partially rid the lake of "undesireables" while hiding behind a veil of safety conciousness.

I understand that many believe its not really about safety. They are wrong! Sure there must be many supporters of HB162 that just don't like fast boats or the people that drive them. They are the minority. I have been to many HB162 support meetings, and the topic is safety. There is no hidden agenda.
If we just wanted to ban high performance boats we would have written a horsepower limit, many NH lakes already have them. If it was about noise we would have written a tougher noise limit. But its about safety, so we support a speed limit.
