Here we have an interesting dilemma...
The supporters of HB-162 that post here say its all about safety. Speed a problem that needs to be addressed.
However, REP. JIM PILLIOD (you know the guy that sponsored HB-162) has stated that it is NOT ABOUT SAFETY.
Whom should one believe? The posters here on the forum, some (not all) of whom have hidden agendas against hi-performance boaters. Or should one belive what Rep. Pilliod has stated, that it isn't about safety?
The people who are against the majority version of HB-162 (myself included) have posted numerous government reports & statistics that support the position that speed is not a safety issue here on Lake Winnipesaukee.
I do think something needs to be done, and I think the reasonable & prudent standard is a fair compromise.
