I'm not calling you a liar, but I think you basing a lot of facts on stories passed down from friends.
I also thought people wanted to make the lake safer, like it was twenty to thirty years ago. Sounds pretty dangerous with people getting decapitated all the time. Since no one has been decapitated lately (30 years) maybe we have made the lake safer now.

I told you it was a Cigarette. How low could the horsepower have been.
This accident was part of the testimony in the Moultonboro HB162 hearing. It happened in the spring of 1975. It was a Cigarette. I don't know the speed but obviously it was moving pretty good. The owner was the uncle of a forum member. It was talked about years ago. Try a search.
Again this accident could have happened last summer or next summer. Nothing has changed. The operator may not have had a safe boating certificate back then, but would that have changed anything? He probably knew that BWI and hitting a cottage while inverted were bad ideas.
APS has been posting about this accident for two days. This is what codeman said about the accident yesterday.
I am not familar with this one...Sounds like your typical crap to me. Please scan-in some documentation of this revelation.
