I boat up and down the east coast and surprisingly once on the ocean or major rivers there are no 150 ft law or limits. It is what is deemed safe and prudent. So running next to each other at 70 mph only 50 feet apart is very common and very safe because of the type of boat. (enough said on that)

So maybe they would consider taking that away.. Just a thought

Ya, the good'OL days since gone.... Talk about a "Jump Out Of The Water
Adrenaline Rush", here's a boat that I got to ride on, a triple 900 hp'rd 9.5' beamed, stage hulled 46' Cougar. After the firing of all three engines while negotiating out into open water, doo put your Hanns Devise on and pray!

With the 45mph limit, doubt we will ever see them here.

WOW Gorgeous boat!!!! Would love to see a pic of the engines!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I had a hard drive crash, did some traveling and had to buy a new computer.

I lent the only picture I had to a buddy to dress up his office when he moved from the shop into sales when we worked together at Grappone Ford heavy Truck, down in Concord. It ended up missing.

I do have a picture of two 750 HP engines that look very simaler, excepting the 900 HP had two 1350 cfm doual feed hollies on a high rise
tunnle Ram intake manifold.

Wow.. Great looking boat!!... I wished mine looked like that when heading to open water.

Getting to open water is a rush, although "Distant Thunder" was built to roam the oceans! I enjoyed the offshore boat races here on Lake Winnipesaukee while I lived here, and they lasted. I can't help but feel the rush that you feel by being able to enjoy your beautiful boat here as well.

I think that the new speed limit is very limiting, however the verdict will
be limiting as well.

Now to get back to where we left shore.

On only two engines, mind you and everyone. "Because of the deep V hull, the third outdrive was mounted lower on the transom, and when under full power the rooster tail was 75' tall behind this boat." Trust me.

"Boats Or What", ya got to love Em'

TRFOUR - if I'm not mistaken, in the pictures, you are putting in at the Nortport Power Station ramp on Long Island, NY. How long does it take to run to Connecticut?

Pricestavern, that would be the place, you have a good eye!.... We were under full power, all three engines, for under 15 minutes. I'd say that we made the trip in about a half hour. Distant Thunder was a big boat, although with 2700 HP it would truck along pretty good. 105 in a four foot chop.

[HUH]

Personaly I think speed is relative.. My boat did not come with a speedometer but id guess it goes 70 something.. We were out the other day heading across the broads.. Typical situation where the 4 big cruisers all headed across my bow from the west all failed to stand down.. upon looking to my stern I realized another 35+ footer was full bore up my stern.. IMHO I had no choice but to avoid this typical situation with liberal use of the throttle.. It all worked out well and I remembered to give them all the universal signal..

Not to contradict, but as I pointed out during the debate that must not be mentioned, Lake Winnipesaukee is just a blip on the overall news screen outside of the Lakes Region in NH, and isn't even a blip on the Boston media screen.

A speeding ticket does not news make! A forum like this is the place where that information is most likely to show up but only if someone wants to do the legwork and go over to Glendale on a regular basis and look.

[Bear Islander]

I don't see where the number of tickets make any difference. If there are many, it will be said the limit was needed. If there are few (or none) it will be argued the limit is working.

This is the oppositions "Kobayashi Maru" scenario.

[BroadHopper]

The MP's must have been concentrating their time looking for speeders.
The Captain Boneheads and Drunks were out full force!
Captain Pontoon came within feets of my boat as I am anchored in a Timber Island cove with grandkids in the water!

But remember "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one" or was it the other way around?

Perhaps some will. But the MP had a statement in the paper not long ago about proponents expectations. Did you read it?

[Kings Bluff]

From what I saw last week the MP's aren't enforcing the speed limits in Alton Bay. Boats continue to roar by at all hours of the day and night.

[fatlazyless]

Today, for the last two hours, that expensive looking helicopter slowly moving about the lake up at 500' or so, is probably the state police chopper. So, don't forget to smile and wave , and maybe you'll get to be televised on a soon-to-be-seen TruTV police epic!

Live from Lake Winnipesaukee....those boats can run....but can they hide....from the law enforcement eye in the sky?

At an average operating cost of $431.70 dollars an hour for a standard Bell 407 helicopter (not a helicopter with additional police equipment, avionics or personel) I doubt that the NHSP will be doing the "eye in the sky" trick very often over Lake Winnipesaukee to maybe watch for a boat or two!

[pm203]

I know of several people who have allready hit 100 mph on the lake this year. And a new 52 foot performance boat was just dropped in the lake this weekend. As far as Fay saying the lake is quieter? Its the weather.

[livefreeordie]

I spent both days on the water, sat on my dads nor-tech for the poker run and sun on my wakeboard boat with friends. Both days were full of people passing within 50ft under way and people not knowing the rules about standing down to boats on your right....

All weekend I felt surrounded by people who just got there first boat and had no clue what the rules were....

BTW big thanks to the big shot in his big Regal cruiser that smashed my dads boat into the dock messing up the paint and then acting like its no big deal and boats are meant to be scratched.... him and his whole crew were rude and very UN simpathetic.... people like that should be kicked off the lake back to ware they came from.... my Guess in NY or CT

[jrc]

LFOD if a guy smashed my boat into the dock and messed up the paint, I'd be looking for his insurance company, he can keep the sympathy.

Nice to see many of the performance boats supporting the Easter Seals on Saturday.

Same here. Hats off to the moron on the "Syphen" who decided to blow past me just outside of the mouth of Alton Bay. He split the distance between myself and another boater who were about 250 ft apart.

That's better than most at 125' apart on each side


Good to see everything's under control over there.

Seriously? You're upset because you had 125' feet between boats instead of 150'?

I do my absolute best to obey the 150' law, but damn if that isn't one of the most idiotic boating laws I've ever heard of. I keep seeing people getting so bent out of shape if someone comes within 80' of their boat. This is a relatively small lake, there are many places where no more than 2 boats can reasonably pass each other while also maintain adequate distance from shore, each other, other water hazards, etc.

Part of my big problem with the 150' law, is that it seems 1/2 of the people on the lake aren't aware of it, and 1/2 of the remaining bunch can't judge 150' with any degree of accuracy. I would much rather be alert and expect that a boat may come closer than 150' to me then expect people will obey this law.

If someone cuts across your bow or stern with only a dozen feet to spare, they are certainly reckless. If someone passes you 80 feet to the side because the area is congested, or simply because that is the most direct or logical path, you are not in imminent danger of death.

I'm sure many people will disagree with me, but that is just one that just seems like a waste of legislation.

Yes, I spend alot of time avoiding those that have no idea what 150' feet is or could care less. That said, it is the law and I don't really give a damn if it's the "most direct way" or not.

I am always well aware of what's happening around me. He must've just pulled out of a cove becuse he was not there just seconds before he blew threw there and we always have 4 eyes watching the traffic. My wife is a bit of a paranoid about it.

There was plenty of room to our port for him to safely pass both of us.

[VtSteve]

There was plenty of room to our port for him to safely pass both of us.

And that's generally what I would do as well. It's more proper, less of an annoyance for others, and just a bit more friendly.

But he has a point. Many people couldn't judge 150' with a laser rangefinder I've been within half of that with two to three boats, traveling at (GASP!!!!!!!!!!!:eek) Plane speed. About 25 to 35 is fine.

Like I always say about interstate driving, If you can't travel from Vermont to NH at 75 mph without tapping your brakes without traffic, you really shouldn't be driving. Same at 70 mph, 65 mph .....

I think it needs to be pointed out that 3 boats within 250' evenly spaced leaves about 83' between each boat. About half the required 150'.
I do agree that 150' is excessive, as long as each captain is fully aware of the other and their intentions.

Originally Posted by Acres per Second

Right, because every boat within 150' is going to have a head on crash. I mean seriously, that has happened so many times on Lake Winni, I can't begin to count them all.

[brk-lnt]

Originally Posted by Acres per Second

Where did I say I ignored the rule? In fact, I specifically pointed out that I comply with the 150' law as best as possible (sometimes other boaters make it damn near impossible to do so).

[VtSteve]

You are confused, on purpose

People ignore, or are ignorant of the laws every single day of the week. The reason you're appearing so confused to yourself, is because you don't really care about what you state you are. You care about sailing, freedom to roam, all of that. You care not for safety, or enforcement, or any of that.

If you genuinely did care for all of that, you'd wonder about the missing link in all of these discussions. You know, the one you never bring up. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

If you picked up on the math quiz, and I'm quite sure you did, you'd know that the problem boater above (rude), was illegal by about 25' per boat. Not a huge sum, but technically in the wrong. But you commented on the principle of it. But I've yet to see you chime in on the other, far more important, and far more dangerous moments. Jet skiis between swimmers.

How about this one?

"The MPs were out enforcing this rule hardcore this weekend I can say. Some guy in a 18 foot bayliner or something blows by us and 3 other boats in Alton Bay Sunday and the MP is sitting right in the channel-where you have to obey the rule or he has you. This guy broke the 150 on 4 boats and also the MP
"


No comment APS?

I love the old cougar boats..... does that one still sit on the channel like it has for what seems to be all my life. mot once have I seen it in action

[Sman]

Ocdactive, you are obviously a fast boat enthusiast, you should check out this link below if you have not yet

http://www.screamandfly.com/

I sold a boat there a few yrs back, people are always asking for and posting pictures of their rigs

[Lakegeezer]

If you are thinking of safely going over 45, watch out for the MP. They have been hiding in unusual places around m'boro bay today, sitting still for longer periods than normal. Probably looking to make the news for writing that first speeding ticket.

[pm203]

First of all, boating tickets were never tied to your driving record untill the supporters of HB 847 pushed for it. And, it is attached to speeding only, as far as I see it, because they saw to it. Secondly, a ticket for breaking the 150 foot rule is not going to show up on your insurance. And, even if it did, you would be foolish not to arbitrate it. Bottom line; obey the laws and go faster than 45 only when safe, prudent and not in plain view of the MP. Everything in moderation and you will be ok.

[ApS]

That first ticket may already be part of Winnipesaukee history.

At 8:40 this morning, a NHMP inboard, traveling at flank speed, tailed a 21' white Donzi for a good mile. The two eventually stopped and drifted out of my sight, but the Donzi did end up being cornered in a cove by Pine Harbor Condos. ("Tuftonboro Bay" is a dead-end).

"The discussion" with the three aboard lasted at least 15 minutes.

(The NHMP inboards usually around here display numbers MP-7 and MP-11, and appear to have the NHMP's most-seasoned officers aboard).

Later, the Donzi left the area at about 1/3 his accustomed rapidity. (About equivalent to NHMP's flank velocity). Since then, it's been a relatively busy Saturday, with bright sun all day and variable winds from 0 to 15, but everybody seems to be behaving themselves—at least since 8:40 AM.

I gotta say, that's one really fast Donzi! (100-MPH? Danged impressive for a little boat). Maybe Woodsy has heard if history was made today.

(Or, to put it another way, will this ticket appear on eBay?)

[Tyler]

That was my boat you are referring to, no ticket was given, sorry to disappoint you.

Its going to get REALLY interesting in a few weeks/months.

A key provision of HB-847 was that NO SPECIFIC FINE was established for a speeding violation. The fine (if there is one) will be set by the Judge... Yup the JUDGE!

Any and all speeding tickets written on Lake Winnipesaukee will result in a court hearing... That means the offender will have to take a day off, a few hours of court time etc... I wonder what thats going to cost our already overburdened and underfunded judiciary!

Gotta love these "No Cost" laws!

Woodsy

Insteresting observance Woody..... a few comments on this as I see it.

This is a good thing as I see it. instead of handing out a fine and being done, assuming the boater just pays the fine, the case will end up in court. In which case, all the information can get brought out, such as, just how fast the boat was going, the proximaty of other boats, the weather conditions etc etc.

For all of you opposed to the speed limit this is what you want, people will be able to fight the case that they where going fast, but not endagering anyone.

it also what people like me want to see.... I believe in speed control on the water but only to a point. Wide open areas like the broads should be speed zone free. It is only the congested areas like Wolfboro Harbor, Center Harbor, and the Wiers that need the speed limit...... Making Meradith Bay a no wake zone was in my mind one of the better moves....

Anyway just some thoughts, and once again, thanks for that bit of information Woodsy....

[tis]

If that is the case Woodsy, it will be interesting to see how long it takes to get the case INTO court! A month, 6 months, a year???

[sunset on the dock]

Will the offender be required to go to court? That in and of itself would be a major deterrent to breaking the law, given time required off from work, travel, etc.

[VtSteve]

I would think so as well. Once the speeding and drunk driving laws went into effect, we haven't seen many people breaking those laws

[sunset on the dock]

Originally Posted by VtSteve

Seriously though, my point is that with a land speeding ticket one needn't go to court. You can bet if people were required to go to court for every highway speeding ticket that they would play real close attention to the speed limits.

[Woodsy]

You will be issued a summons to appear... you cant just mail in the fine.... this insures EVERYONE will be required to appear in front of a judge and plead thier case. (Not to say the prosecutors might offer some sort of plea deal -maybe $50 fine and it doesnt affect driving record or some such deal). The pleas deal would save the courts time and $$$.

As Tis asks... How long to get into court?

That remains to be seen. It should be interesting to see how that plays out. Especially considering the P/T status of most officers. The MP officer that issued the ticket will be REQUIRED to appear as well. (Same as an auto speeding violation)

In the off chance that any of the law abiding forum members here should get a ticket, make sure you make a note of issuing officer and prevalent conditions... boat traffic, lake chop, time of day etc. Especially note the type of radar unit used...

Woodsy

[wifi]

Don't officers testify in court during their off hours/days, thereby getting OT? Interesting incentive, if true.

[Woodsy]

I doubt they get overtime pay for court appearances... No doubt its scheduled far in advance.

Woodsy

[sunset on the dock]

I would think that many go fast boaters, in light of the kind of money that they have to pour down their gas tanks, would rather just pay the fine and have it all over with. Having to go spend a day in court....now that's a real disincentive to speed.

[Pineedles]

Not only would the ticketee need to be in court but also the ticketor. That will mean either alot of dismissed cases or the MP will be off the lake fairly often. Oh how our gov't is soooo smart when they pass laws.

The days of open exhaust are gone: Every season, discussions of boat damage to lakefront properties are raised.

Lake Norman, mentioned here this week, once had a boat run out of the lake to hit a truck on the Interstate!

We have a member here who not only knows Donzi/Donzi-supporters on this lake, he has ample "street creds". Thank you, but I'll await a comprehensive report from Woodsy on this.

1) After all, I very well could have witnessed "history in the making".

2) "Flank" means all-out: "Velocity" and "rapidity" are word-substitutes for s***d—which, I think you'll agree—is to be avoided in these times.

3) Maybe you haven't observed "The NHMP Inboards of Antiquity". The one described had its engines screaming: even then, I doubt it broke 35.

Just wondering.. Is there a particular reason you like to piecemail many different posts then bring them together to make points that really weren't part of the original conversation? Just happen to see a pattern.

In one post I was discussing the new limits that they weren't going to keep me off the lake that particular day. Then we were discussing boat traffic of which I was fed up with and docked the boat..

I just don't see what you are trying to accomplish? serious question.. I mean are you literally just trying to start controversies?

I don't care either way.. If so have at it but just curious. No offiense intended.. Just making conversation and poking a little fun.

Play on.

LOL.. maybe in comparrison yes...... I mean I don't mind good heated discussion even arguments. but I just don't see why piece mailing posts from different threads to try to draw a conclusion or find some type of ambiguity is necessary. Or frankly where one finds the time to do so and go through the effort. I mean what is there to accomplish other then to start a controversy over nothing.

It is one thing if it is a discussion on a specific point but in this case it just seems silly..

But to each his own I guess.. Whatever gets their rocks off.

Well regardless of "boat traffic" "limits" "gas prices" or anything else that can be pulled from other threads and pieced together...................... I am heading up this weekend. Thinking of heading to the Naswa on Saturday for lunch.. If any of you Performance boating enthusiasts who are alive and well would like to meet up, would be great to finally put the posts with the name and face.


And no offense Acres Per Second.. Just poking fun.. Have at it.. I am always up for a good laugh!

Cheers.

OCD~ Water off a ducks back man - let it go. Been there, done that (with APS) and it's a long and unfulfilling road at the end. You figured it out, now back to our regularly-scheduled program

Great pick on your 28' - Pat builds a monster ride and stands behind them 100%! Enjoy it, I think there's a 33' in your not-too-distant future... isn't Remedy still for sale!?

See you on the water -

hey mark.. I have heard the same thing from others as well.... so not even going to go there. Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you. Actually I can not see going to the 33. It really wouldn't fit in the places I am going to use it. Steve is no longer selling Remedy and I am very happy to see that. I will be running next to her in Virginia at Jammin on the James. You should join us.

You going up this weekend? Naswa lunch?

[BroadHopper]

The Formula won't be out of the upholstery shop in time for this weekend. Hope to see you guys for lunch at the NASWA. Anybody taking riders?

Yeah, I knew he was wavering back and fourth on selling it last time I checked... plus the 28' really is perfect for our water up there, and will handle runs like the "Jammin' " just fine too.

I'm pretty sure I won't be up this weekend, I've got little guy duty (have a 4 yr old son) all weekend as my wife has a wedding shower and another event to attend. Next time for sure though...

Geez, now I have Fresca all over my screen.

BTW OD, I'll bet you have absolutely no idea how many acres per second your boat occupies on the lake at any given rate of speed do ya? With the 150' bubble around you and other boats, the math is an incredible exercise. You may need a long lunch at the NAswa. We could first start off computing it at Flank Velocity

Do they have lobster rolls at the Naswa?

Ok.. LMAO!!! I just spit beer on the screen.. Fresca?????


Yes sounds like a good lunch.. Not sure on the lobster roll, but you may have to take out a mortgage to afford it at their prices.. LOL..

But it comes with spicy curley fries so its worth it...

Maybe Acres Per Second would like to join us?

Just wondering.. Is there a particular reason you like to piecemail many different posts then bring them together to make points that really weren't part of the original conversation? Just happen to see a pattern.

In one post I was discussing the new limits that they weren't going to keep me off the lake that particular day. Then we were discussing boat traffic of which I was fed up with and docked the boat..

I just don't see what you are trying to accomplish? serious question.. I mean are you literally just trying to start controversies?

I don't care either way.. If so have at it but just curious. No offiense intended.. Just making conversation and poking a little fun.

Play on.

OCD didn't you know that APS was a member of the Warren Commission? Conspiracies man..... they're all around us man.....

APS, it is entertaining and sometimes really really confusing to read your posts. Oftentimes I get so lost in the logic I get a brain cramp. Good stuff though keep on keepin it real.
