That's just not true.

The anti-speed limit folks have repeated this lie so many times that many well meaning people, like yourself, think its true.

There is no reasonable and prudent speed...

I don't think "marginally petty" is the correct term. Your telling us about it is threatening in my opinion. Your actually doing it is called harassment or even stalking.

B R, when you posted that was it an actual threat of reprisals due to passage of HB847, or was it a joke in VERY bad taste?

You keep forgetting that speed limits are enforced on other lakes in NH. This isn't going to be a problem. Boats will go 5, 10 even 15 over the limit and get away with it. Just like on our highways,...

There is no such rule!

What rule are you talking about? Can you quote a New Hampshire law or boating regulation that refers to "reasonable safe speeds".

Therefore some boats exceed 45/25. It is for them the law was written.

The boats that do not exceed 45/25 will not be effected by the law.

See how perfectly this works!

I never implied that. The Coast Guard definition is not tied to a specific speed. It's based on the circumstances. It can mean higher or lower than the 45/25 limit.

Increased enforcement is a great idea. To bad it will never happen. It's a pipe dream. You might as well look to Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy to solve the lakes problems.
