Winnipesaukee boaters !
Well they seem to be at it again
WinnFABs (the group that supported HB162) has conveniently scheduled a Legislative "Scenic" Boat ride this Saturday (July 29th) and next Saturday (August 5th). Leaving from the Meredith town docks Saturday morning to cruise around the lake. Why I say conveniently? BOTH Baja and Donzi clubs are having their Poker runs this Saturday (July 29th) and Formula is having theirs next Saturday (August 5th). Please be EXTRA courteous, don't be the one they point out "See that's why we need a speed limit" and please pass the word |
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
How can they hug trees in a boat if their going for a ride?
|
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
Hopefully the legislators will see how large the lake is and why speed is far from being an issue that requires more legislation and funding.

Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
I assume they will be on the vessel "Mount Washington"? Remind them that they are supporting the degradation of the environment, the fish, the wildlife, the tranquility and peace of the lake by riding on such a large and polluting vessel (diesel). Remind them that because the ship travels at such a slow speed and creates such an enormous wake and turbulence, it poses threats to shoreline erosion, pleasure boating safety (capsizing) and visual attrocities to lake shore residents and visitors alike. Because of it's size it becomes all encompassing where ever it happens to be, and detracts from natural beauty an dsplendor of the surroundings. Also, you may wish to remind them, that the performance boaters are only there for very brief periods while cruise boats are there all season.
GOOD LUCK! |
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
you should get all those big cabin crusiers on the water that day.show them what big wakes do.
|
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
If they are leaving from the Meredith docks they are probably going to be abored the "Doris E" or the "Sophie C". I don't think the Mount goes into Meredith bay at all.

Oh the Sophie C and Doris E make quite a large wake themselves.. Also be aware that the Owner of the cruise line was a big backer of HB-162 Common Man resteraunts Church Landing, Lago, etc ... Can You Say BOYCOTT !! http://www.thecman.com/ |
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
We'll see how much you dislike the gofast crowd when none of them eat at your greasy spoons ! :mad:

Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
Maybe they'll see all the azzholes that have NO idea how to drive a boat, and realize that speed really ISN'T the issue, but boater education is! We should find out what boat they will be on and some of us should just "happen" to be on the same boat, and say things like "Look at all those guys in their Baja's, driving nice and courteously, raising money for a great cause like Easter Seals..." or something like "wow, did you see that guy in the 22' bowrider cut off that other guy in the sailboat - how irresponsible and discourteous, I bet you'd never see one of them Donzi boat owners do that!!" :D
And they started to bring the Mount into Meredith a few summers ago - so it could be the Mount, Doris or Sophie... |
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
I have some friends that are in the run. I will make sure to spread the word.
|
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
Should not be to hard to figure out what boat they will be on. Of course we are assuming that the legislatures will come. Hard enough to get them to want to vote durring the week. :rolleyes: At any rate some one should make sure that ALL the people that are running in the poker runs are made well aware of this and try and stay well clear.

Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
I am doing the run. I will make sure I mention it before the event starts.
|
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
Good grief. It NEVER ends up there.
Just try to be extra courteous on those runs and wave, wave, wave, when appropriate.....:) And not the "one finger" salute.....:D Good luck guys/gals..... |
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !

[QUOTE=DoTheMath]like " raising money for a great cause like Easter Seals..."
Which is exactly what I did when there a month ago and it turns out I won a 14ft. Sea Doo Sportster Jetboat and trailer. If anyone down there wants to take it off my hands I will give you a great deal. My boathouse in Ontario is full and I do not want it in FL. Call or PM me if interested. Bob 519 498 6945. Now getting back to the more important matter at hand. I hope your poker runs do not give them ammunition in their ongoing battle with you. Any chance of self imposing a reasonable speed limit during your poker run ? After all - a poker run is not a race , remember! If your groups can discipline yourselves for those two weekends regarding speed, noise and safe separation and operation of boats it just might take some wind out of their sails. Easier said than done, I know. You have a beautiful lake down there and I enjoyed my visit and meeting some of you. Good luck. :D Bob |

Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
Mark builds some of the most beautiful boats on the planet...Baby Bootlegger was outstanding. Hope to see you out this weekend pantera

Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
You can bet your last dollar the local lake killers waited for a real big weekend like this to "Wine & Dine" the powers to be, the local yocals will be hawkeyeing & pointing out every move a preformance boat makes! If you boys have even the slightest bit of sense you will get the word out SLOW & COURTIOUS. The future of your lake boating depends on how you pull this weekend off! Everyone that reads this should do their best to save your lake!

I love Marks boats - I'd love to add a "woody" to my dock one day, nothing like them!! :cool: |
Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
These guys are like a bad rash. Is this being publicized on thier website or somewhere else?

I did the Donzi run two summers ago and everyone was great about behaving, hopefully this year will be no different.

Re: Winnipesaukee boaters !
The 47 has 1500,s and the smaller one was probably the silver 900 HP boat.
