If I have given the impression that islanders have more rights than others to boat on Winnipesaukee, then I have done my job well. We Do!
And the Department of safety has enacted horsepower limits on many lakes. There is no grandfathering, you have to take your boat somewhere else. The department posts a list of lakes with speed and horsepower limits. If you read it you will find no consideration for existing boats.
When size limits come the opposition will do well to argue "what size" instead of "no limits". The speed limit opposition could easily have convinced the proponents to go with a higher limit, but they went with "no limits" and "live free or die" and now they have lost.
By the way, please obey the SPEED LIMIT when you go by Bear Island.

You have no more right than anyone else to the lake under NH law. I will agree that the towns should make certain accomadations to the island land holders because they are taxing that property therefore should be providing normal services like fire and police protection but the lakes itsel is there for everyone to enjoy not just those with a property on an island.
