You can apply YOUR Research Methodology ANYWAY you so choose. the problem with your math is.... THE PERCENTAGES DON"T CHANGE!!!
Do you seriously think that there were 770,400 BOATS on Lake Winnipesaukee during those 11 weeks?? I dont think anyone is going to believe those numbers! I think you might want to ask the University for a refund!

Long time reader, first time poster.
I have been actively reading this debate for over six months now. I have seen arguements both logical and illogical, factual and opinionated being tossed around by both sides of the speed limit debate. I have seen facts and numbers being manipulated to support each side of the arguement.
I have wanted to chime in many times when I read opinions, lies, and
arguements that do not hold water.
As this debate comes to an end, I just want to say
Bravo to Woodsy's last post. It clearly outlines the "fuzzy math" the proponents have been using on this forum, op ed pieces in the local papers and before the house committees.
- No matter how you spin the numbers, at any point in time, there are WAY less than 1% of the boats on the lake exceeding the 'proposed' speed limit (it is not speeding yet)
-Education not regulation
-I love my 150 ft rule - please enforce it!!!!
