Evanstar,

The big problem here is YOUR analysis. You are NOT WRONG. I repeat NOT WRONG in your math. Once again stated another way you are 100% CORRECT. But this is where it ends. You are doing a MATH PROBLEM. It looks great on paper I applaud your efforts. However, the reality is there are not 775,000 incidents to track on Lake winnipesaukee in an 11 week period. And by incidents I mean boats traveling at ANY speed. The shear volume of craft that you suggest are using the waters during this period to create the supposed 2,200 "speeders" or does not exist. I explained in it a literal manner and I believe Woodsy has explained it in a finite matter extremely well. It seems that you can't comprehend this because you disagree with the numbers. For a moment forget the debate and just pretend we are debating the volume of traffic on the lake. Now do you really think that your numbers represent an accurate example of the volume of craft on the lake in a 10 week period?
