And if that 1% of boaters(per this forum) leaves the lake or slows down, it could be an economic windfall, according to my post this AM referring to the NH Lakes ,Rivers, Streams and Ponds Partnership report.
If a boat is going 70 mph at 150' away, what exactly is the issue? If you are swimming with your family and a boat goes by at 45 mph at 150' away, what is the difference? You cannot tell me that you can tell the difference between 70 mph and 45 mph at 150' away, while you are swimming in the water. And even if you could, what is the risk? At both speeds, the boat is still 150' away!
