The local boat dealers and marine industry have banded together in the past using their own money and time to squash regulations like this.Lets hope it gets squashed again!

So, just wondering - any thoughts guys as to what recent turn of events (up here) may have brought this on? :rolleyes:

they were trying to do the same thing in the 1000 island region too......

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Ease down on the mazzholes, we need their help too!

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Hey hey... easy on the Mazzholes :D Jeesh! Some of us own houses on the lake and pay in while taking very little back... And my first thought was Mr. Littlefield too... they have been talking about this for a while but never seriously until he did his deed! Dumb-A$$!! (And I have known him personally for 15 years - can't say I'm proud of that these days :( )

I would have happily driven up but unfortunatly I have already booked up my week solid and I am on the ropes with a few customers as it is. Please keep me posted if there are to be any more meetings and perhaps you can let them know that most of us tax payers actually WORK.
