I am not disagreeing with you. I am disagreeing with Capt. Dunleavy. He is doing the right thing from a common sense point of view, but the law does not back him up. NH should just change the law to from 6 MPH to 5 MPH, like the other states, and be done with it.
FWIW: My boat makes a wake that seems a little excessive at 6 MPH, so I typically go 5 MPH, make a minimal wake, and have never been stopped by any law enforcement for my wake. However, if the natural chop is bigger than my 6 MPH wake, I go 6 MPH. There's no point going slower than 6 MPH in 1' chop.
