Speed limits are not the best solution to ALL of these problems. That would be a horsepower limit. However speed limits will IMPROVE all those things.
Other lakes that have enacted speed limits report improved conditions. The same will happen on Winnipesaukee. Your argument that speed limits will bring more power boats, confusion and congestion is ridiculous on it's face and contrary to experience.
Speed limits will bring more "boats", but they will be of the human or wind powered kind.
By the way, you lose all credibility when you make claims like "noise will not be addressed by speed limits". It is an example of the twisted logic necessary to oppose reasonable solutions to a serious problems.
The questions still unanswered by the opposition
1. How big is to big?
2. How fast is to fast?
3. Is the average horsepower per powerboat on the rise?
