Hey you put that many people in close proximity to each other on a busy weekend in the summer sun. Add alcohol & egos’s and stir it up and that is what you get.

x2...that is truly well stated. I've definitely seen BOTH and victims on both sides. I also don't think the "I own the lake landowners" and the "I can do anything I want boat owners" are going to change any time soon. If either side can't deal with it there is lots of other water in NH and other states they can "own". I treat other people respectfully when on the water (both land and boat owners) and don't tolerate others who don't return the favor...the Golden Rule. I've never called MP, Fish and Game or local PDs but will to protect my rights...it just costs too much to haul my boat up there to accept people breaking laws and compromising my or my families safety and enjoyment on the Lake.

Both land and boat owners...know the law and respect each other and nobody has a problem.
