Do people think it makes more sense to legislate a particular body of water or the whole state?
And Woodsy does bring up a good point, enforcability... I thought onlywinni, had a good idea... and I still think it has merit.... However Woodsy has a good point... enforcability becomes a real issue with a law like that....
On another note, I will say again..... I am seeing the "GFBL" boaters bring a lot to the comprimise table at this point.... and not seeing much in a comprimise tone from the SL lovers right now..... kind of disappionting if you ask me.... one side seems to be willing to sit down at the table but the other, not so much......

I think Legislating Winni as a particular body of water is appropriate based on its size. I have boated on Ossippee before and would never condone a 60+ speed limit on a lake that size.
re. Enforceability...I think the MPs could figure out 500' pretty easy...Dont they have a radar that can tell them that now?
I would love to hear any Compromises from the SL supporters. 45mph is just too slow for certain conditions with certain boats.
I will give you a quick example, last Saturday there was a gentleman and his wife in a Powerquest..I followed him from West Alton to near the Weirs. I was only limping along around 35-40 because it was kind of choppy and the wife told me to relax
...anyway the Powerquest was giving it all she had...I think it was a dual motor beast....he would drop the hammer and had to be in the 60s at least, but as soon as another boat came anywhere near him-I would estimate within 700' of him he backed right down to the 30 range)
Even my wife who is a SL Supporter
(the real funny part is the Baja is her toy-I just get to drive it and clean it for her!!!) She said, I guess if you speed like the Powerquest and are considerate of others there really is not a problem...
