He was right, drunks do not obey the law. If they are drunk and behind the wheel they are already breaking the law, and a speed limit will not protect anyone.

How about a homework assignment? A list of all powerboat accidents in the last 30 years (to make a certain few happy), no phantom stuff, actual verifiable accidents that resulted in a death or serious injury IN NH. I think it would be interesting to see the list, and the causes/contributing factors. Nothing in FL, Michigan, or anywhere else. No close calls, actual accidents. This debate and law is about NH boating and NH waterways. Maybe a followup of non-powered boating accidents, which most likely will be GREATER in number.

APS? BI? Islander? Anyone?

Careful.... They will think you are starting to drink the coolaid.

This accident doesn't count.... alcohol. And I'm willing to bet they violated the 150' rule. Too long ago... Not boat-to-boat... Accidents on other lakes don't count... That lake is smaller... Coast Guard never said 45/25..., Winnipesaukee has a different shape... yada yada yada.

Like they say, not just a river in Egypt.

Then they post that there is absolutely no evidence to support a speed limit.
