Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

it was all a misunderstanding, it was 145, not 45....... :D

good luck guys, it is a slippery slope with regulations like that.... hopefully never at LOTO!!! :eek:

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Early this am I e-mailed back and forth with the sponsor of the bill, Jim Pilliod, he claimed was asked by the marinas to pursue the law. Well, there were marinas present and not one was in favor. The one marina that went unmentioned (Fay's junk yard) did not bother showing up, a lot a vague references to wakes and reckless operation, nothing related to speed. When he was done he walked out :rolleyes: , then the actual owners of the marinas made their case along with an attorney, local residents and a bass fisherman.
The best is when the director of MP gave his point of view. There is no need for the law along with no way to enforce. Some reps tried questioning in a way that would implicate speed, he held his ground. the best is when a resident, the one opposed, went on and on about how is frightened to go out in his 21 foot boat. You'd think the mafia (sound familiar?) was waiting for him on the water. He went as far to accuse a MP for coming to close to him at a high speed. A rep baited him and asked if he found offshore'rs to be arrogant, he then said we are a bunch of young and rich people with no respect for anyone. It was over for him soon after, the more he spoke he got many laughs from the gallery. There is a sub-committee later today but based on the testimony its dead. The next time we see the MP's we should all wave and say THANK YOU!! We would have saved a lot of time if it ended after the directors testimony.

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Thanks for the update Chris!!! Good news! :D

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Cool :cool:
Sounds the the biggest protester FOR the speed limit was one of our best assets :D

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Rattlesnake Gal here, (the trouble maker who stared the poll on the other fourm) tried resigning up yesterday under my normal name, but for some reason I can’t log in that way. I even got the confirmation e-mail. Perhaps it is because I used the same e-mail address? :confused:
Anyway, I have been dropping by every now and again under this name, but have not posted. Not because I’m chicken, but because we do not own an offshore boat. I enjoy ALL boats and am lucky to have a great vantage point to see a lot of them. Maybe one day I will get the pleasure of being a passenger on one of these amazing machines. (With an experienced captain that is.)
I would like to reiterate what I posted over on the other forum. The opinions and antagonistic views of a few forum members are just that, their opinions. You really shouldn’t lump us all together. I am starting to get offended! LOL. ;) We have a large number of wonderful members, as do you. Many people stay away from hot debates so they don’t get stuck in the mire.
There is definitely room for both forums. One being tame and one for a walk on the wild side, having a choice is a grand thing. It’s what the USA is all about.
Keep in mind certain people (you know who I mean) love to spar in a good intellectual debate and will do anything to get their fix. My advice it to just ignore him. Responding rewards bad behavior.
Lastly, be nice to the Webmaster over there, he is a great guy. Remember it is his prerogative to implement his vision of what his website should be. E-mail him if you have a problem with your membership. He is a fair man.
Okay, one more last thing, well maybe two. Some of the photos on this site are simply amazing! (I am such a picture junkie.)
And Wahoo on the speed limit thing!
Does this post make me a MafiOSO? :evilb:

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

You really should have made it - as a concession to the old fogies we voted you off the lake. :D

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Hey RG - Welcome! Glad to have you on here... and I am all to familiar with the folks on the Winni site - I know you from over there and you are one of the (few) good ones!!

And being on here doesn't make you a Mafi-OSO, it makes you a boater, as we all are.

For The Love Of the Sport!!!
:D

-Mark-

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

:D :D Ill be glad to leave the lake .."If ya can catch me !" :D :D

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Welcome! As you may have heard, we are all a bunch of dirty old men who's days are consumed with pornography, burning sail boats and abusing children.

just kidding, good to have you, now post some semi-clad pics of yourself or beat it. :p

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Come over to the dark side bwahahahaha :drink:

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Hey man - speak for yourself!!! :mad:

I am NOT old!! lolol!!! :D :D

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

jeez, a new girl joins and you'd think we were a bunch of mashers sending IM's to teen chat rooms!

So, RG, your parents home??? ;)

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Way to scare away the new kid! :D :D

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Make that 2 from the other website. Hearing went awesome. If any of you see a blue ranger bassboat trying to keep up with you on the lake that would be me. Havent smoked any of you yet but maybe mext year with the new boat :D . And I would definitely take RG out for a ride or fishin trip anyday :fish: :cool:

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Rattesnake Gal: Welcome, welcome, welcome. I think you are one of the few voices of reason on winnipesaukee.com, and the "few" that you mention are exactly why I don't post there.

It's easy to see how quickly the minority can ruin things for the majority.

:drink:

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Rattlesnake Gal,

Welcome,and thank you for support.I am sure that we can arrange a 90 mph boat ride for you this season.Let us know.

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

B8caster, were you the guy that threw in his .02 at the end of the speed limit funeral,,,I mean hearing?

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

If you ever see me and Heidi At smalls cove Just ask we would be happy to take you out so you can see what fun these boats can be :D :D
Bob

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

yeah.. that was me CMG. most of the points that i had prepared had already been covered but I still wanted to speak

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

CMG.. which one was you?

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Imagine that. A female being a voice of reason :drink:

BTW - Im RG. Guess Ill have to be Rg3 Welcome RG!! :D

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Sorry RG3.. didnt realize this site might have their own RG :sorry:

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

"CMG.. which one was you?"


Against the wall dark overcoat, dark shirt and tie. I didn't come prepared to speak but wish I had taken notes when Rep Pilliod made his out of the blue claims and alleged stats. Every single one was easily defeated and I think he knew it, its why he left in a hurry. You kinda threw me when you told the rep ( he-like most of them didn't have a clue about boats) that your boat slides for 150 feet before it comes to a stop. Glad it was late! Anyways, your right, by the end not much left to say. So much for all the belly achers on the other site - none showed.

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Welcome Rattlesnake Gal , I too am a regular on the Winni site( under my real name) and also make the 400 mile ride from South Jersey occasionally.Been on the lake since I was a kid( too long ago).
We're really a pretty good bunch over here regardless of what I.R. , Madrasahs or Acres per Second say. I am convinced there is something MAJORLY wrong with a person who changes there name all the time. With all due respect , perhaps he is just too big an a$$ hole to be just one person :D :D :D
I love the way he will quote PART of what we say only to use it against us , where if the WHOLE thing was read it would sound entirely different. I wouldn't be suprized to see what CMG said about us dirty old men appear over there minus the "just kidding" part. :mad: .
Ther's a lot of good information to be had here. Once again welcome aboard ;)



AAAhhhh , you never did say if your parents were home :o :o

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Hey CMG.. I just tell it like it is. someone stated that a boat comes to a stop fast when you let off the throttle. Well that just aint always true. If I am at wot and cut the throttle thats what happens with my boat. Was trying to make the point that awareness of your surroundings is the most important factor but guess I was just a little nervous. Did ya catch where Rep. Pilliod said some boats can go from on end of the lake to the other in 7 minutes. I wanna ride on that boat. Which one of you guys wants to prove that statement is true for me?

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Im happy to share, specially with an obviously smart chick! :cool: :D

BTW, Im a boat mooch too. :p

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Claim Jumper! :mad: :D

Are Madrasahs, Acres and per Second all the same jack*ss ??

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Lake Winnipesaukee is 28 miles long and 13 miles wide, and covers 72 square miles.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that would mean someone on the lake has a boat that does 240mph. :rolleyes: You can rule mine out. Now if he didn't exagerate so much, XXX did visit last year and he's in the 160mph neighborhood!

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Yes and so is "I remember" (aka I.R.) who came before those two. They'll probably use "Cybil" next :eek: :eek:

Can you say Psychopath???

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Welcome to our "family" Rattlesnake Girl. You will find us informative and very entertaining.

If you ever have any questions, help is only a keyboard away.

I will admit I enjoyed my venturing into the Lake Winnie Forum. Sometimes it takes people like me, to keep people like "them" (you know who I mean) in check.

Glad to have you with us.

B8Caster: same goes for you, welcome to our "family", glad you're here.

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Wow, thanks for the enthusiastic welcome! Not at all what I was expecting.
(Why are my instincts telling me to run fast and far? LOL.)
I'm kicking myself now for letting on who I really am. Could have let my wild side have a bit of fun and no one would have been the wiser. LMAO.
See, already y’all are a bad influence on me! :evilb:
Racegirl3, you certainly should remain RG over here. I can be RSG. Sounds spicy, doesn’t it? You can be RG3 over there.
Smart chick? Thanks! Thought I was too old to be a considered chick!
Are my parents home? :confused: I’m sure they are, why? LOL. ;) (I am blonde, you know. Darker these days, but blonde just the same.)
I'm going to have sweet dreams tonight thinking about fun rides in fast boats.
Thanks for making me feel welcome, even though I’m not sporting one of “those” ;) boats.
Until next time…
RSG

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

What am I.. chopped liver ;)

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

:p No, she just does not want to go boating with a plumber that has been fixing all the pipes that he put in that froze :D:D :p :p

If ya see this boat out there for the Donzi Run (you can see when it is and what it is about at www.donzi.net stop by I drive it like I stole it :D:D

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Well, there were some pretty interesting posts on Winnipesaukee website, especially the person who said there is "no rational reason to be going over 45 mph". I'll bet people said that about cars in the early 1900's. That person needs to get a ride in an offshore boat. One ride, and the thrill that goes along with it, would probably change his mind forever. After my first ride, I now feel sorry for people with slow, boring lives. They need to learn how to have fun. Life's too short to do otherwise.

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

This has turned into such a hassle and pain in the a$$. You guys should all come to Portsmouth (THE BIG LAKE) to play. I think you guys would like it :rolleyes: Or Chris you can go to Cobbits Pond and be the biggest and fastest there..LOL.. :drink:

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Every time I try the call the National Guard! There have been times I wanted to back in just for motor / drive testing on the traier but wouldn't be worth the hassle.

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Yeah, that was the same nimrod who stated the only reason to go over 45 mph was "for the thrill".

In this Forum I said if that was the case, that having a thrill in life was a bad thing, they ought to toss the guy in a box, throw him in a hole, and shovel the dirt on him. One of the weenies hijacked the thread from here and posted it over there. Guess some of them thought I was being a mite rude. :D :rolleyes: :D

Re: Speed Limt Law on Winnipesaukee!!!
 

Wow! 100% of your posts (both of them) are funny, witty, and well-done. You've got to be a hoot to hang around with. Welcome aboard OSO. You don't have to have an offshore boat to be welcomed here, just an appreciation for them. Most of us are happy to give people rides, especially if we are going out anyway. BTW, what's the story with the rattlesnake?


B8tcaster: Where I come from, if your bass boat doesn't do 80 mph, your engine must be broken. (Most of us non-fishermen never knew bass were that fast :eek: ) There really are very few offshore boats that can do 80 MPH, and many that can't do 70 MPH, but don't tell the other boaters, because we don't want them to know how slow we really are. The difference is we can maintain those speeds in rough water where most other boats can not.


240 MPH to get from one side of the lake to the other? What was Miss Budweiser's top recorded speed?
