This same story transpired in New Jersey last year after a high ranking money man bought a mega mansion on the water at the Jersey shore. He didn't like the noise...so he pulled some strings and had a SL bill introduced for ALL TIDAL WATERS. This meant the entire ICW for the length of NJ plus rivers feeding it. There are NWZ's but nowhere is there 150' rule. The facts were presented calmly , orderly and precisely. The ruling was a couple more NWZ (with one in front of his house of course).
Maryland also has crowded inland (tidal) waters. They put a bandaid on the problem by making some particularly busy areas NO WAKES on Sat.Sun and Holidays. So Tuesday morning when there is three other boats nearby you can buzz though these areas at any speed. Sat/Sun /Hol's when it's crowded , like Weirs Beach area , it's all NO WAKE. Certainly makes sense since these are also large "rafting" areas.
This probably wouldn't work in NH since all of these posts have been totally one sided(me,me,me) and we all know who you are , don't we???
