MC7 and BH, don't you think it's kind of sleazy to characterize an entire group of people based on the actions of a few? I was a Samoset boater for a few years and I can tell you, there was a mix of yahoo's and serious skilled boaters. Most of them were family boaters in bow riders, only interested in tubing with their kids.
As to Glendale this is all I could find about no wake zones anywhere near Glendale:
...
(f) From the red and white buoy situated off the southeasterly portion of Locke's Island in Lake Winnipesaukee to a point 600 feet northerly thereof shall be a "no wake" area.
(g) From the red and white buoy at the entrance of Smith's Cove at Glendale and southwesterly thereof shall be a "no wake" area.
...
(ai) From a point 150 feet northeast of the no wake sign located at the entrance to Gilford Marina and southwesterly thereof shall be a "no wake" area. (where is Gilford Marina?)
Funny smith cove itself doesn't seem to directly named, I guess (g) includes the cove, and it seems unlikely that there is much space in there that isn't 150' away from shore or boats.
From a practical matter, on weekends, I can't get on plane until close to FL 53 or FL 26 just too many boats. It's impossible to keep 150' away from them all.
