It was only a handful of tree hugging commees that pushed the Mass legislature..Oh sorry NH Liberal Legislature with scare tactics showing how "un-safe" the lake was, to pass the bill.
I have spoken with more people then I can count, including a least a dozen marine patrols and not one person wanted them.
How this happened I have no idea. It will be interesting to see if they even enforce it. The MP budget was cut in half!

People tend to follow, not lead and if you have even just a handful of people with the right connections and money, you can make anything happen.
It's never about what's fair or right anymore.
They will be hurting up there this year, I guarantee it.

They are only going to be critical of the areas that are high congestion and high traffic. The speed limit is also only for 2 years (summers) as well. I am not going to let the people that voted it in keep me off the lake. They can go $hi* in their hat! I aint leavin! Been boating there for more than 25 years and I am staying!

I never ever post here but I am really disappointed with winnipesaukee.com Just when a "real" discussion starts taking place, thanks to OCDACTIVE, certain individuals step in and whine about things and it gets shut down. I am beyond disappointed. THEY do not want to hear anything about negative impacts regarding the speed limit, all they want to hear is how wonderful everything is going to be in the new paradise with the speed limit. BS, all the moron day trippers towing their kids through channels will still be there. The economy coupled with all the performance boats leaving will be devastating to the area and THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS!

There's plenty of other places to go without being hassled by the man. I can't stand looking over my shoulder every 2 seconds to see if the MP's are around.
Last year did for me when I was pulled over again while idling in a channel while having engine problems.
