I have used power, sail and human powered boats on Winnipesaukee often for 30+ years. I have boated on the lake in ALL kinds of conditions. I have no stake in this game since my boat will barely exceed the speed limit and I will never own a GFBL boat.

I am certain that the speed data collected by the marine patrol last year is accurate. It mirrors my own speed observations perfectly. Boats going over 50 MPH really are few and far between.

You can argue about the legitimacy of the study, and manipulate the data all you want, but the fact that it accurately portrays boat speeds on the lake makes all the arguments and manipulation moot.
