It's archaic because the 150-foot violation can be missed in the blink of an eye at today's excessive speeds; however, nowhere did I suggest it be "dumped": It should augment the speed limit.

BTW: We all did agree that 25-MPH is a safe limit for boating in darkness.

Big deal...it's a State Park. Comparing the two doesn't make Lake Winnipesaukee chopped liver.

Lake Winnipesaukee should have been made a State Park, not an open race course for the privileged and entitled few.
