An invitation to leave?
The problem didn't originate with those of us who reside on Lake Winnipesaukee. The problem was brought
to us, courtesy of a burgeoning economy, increased land values, "Keeping up with the Joneses", and a wake "throw-weight" that is spiraling ever-upwards, discouraging the family boater. (Nationwide, BTW).
To the question that I answered earlier, "The few" are chasing away the family boater, thereby "growing" the percentage of irresponsible boaters.

Cruisers are poorly designed to race from their overnighting berths to a party-anchorage site on recreational, protected, inland, and largely
residential lakes. They also multi-task to tow tubers, videotape their family's Jet-Ski wake jumpers, and to tow waterskiers—fully inappropriate design applications for those same lakes.
Whatever happened to cruisers that "cruised"?
