I think you might have missed my point here... I think the Broads should be a wide open avenue for speed.... but more then once I have had speed deamons buzz around me in tight crowded quarters. So in my mind putting speed limits in Areas like Wolfeboro Bay and Center Harbor are a good idea... putting one in around a place like the Wiers wouldn't be bad either but defining the speed zone could be rough. As for other goals the blanklet speed limit people have.... we all know what they are trying to do...

(we still have my Great Grandfather's boat's flag and mount saved from the fire) So what if I wanted to become a competitor? My family certainly has just as much right and history! If someone has the money to bring in another substantially sized boat and can work a deal to moor her, who am I to say no? Who are you to say no? What makes the Mount untouchable in that case?

I should have been more clear here.... If someone wants to bring a boat to compete with the mount then yes they should have the oppertunity to do so. The mount should not be allowed a monopoly....The control needs to be on the recreational boats.......And I am sorry but my opinion is that Some of the boats on the lake have gotten to large.......but this is my opinion... and yes I know that there are many large boat owner that operate responsible.... it the ones that don't that have caused the problems.... and that is unfortunate.....
