For the record, it has been against NH law for many years to be going over head-way speed, 6 mph, when within 150 feet of another boat or point of land. The existing law makes this illegal operation! No need for a Speed Limit here as it was already against the existing law.
In fact all the flooding, fear-mongering recent posts by elchase refer to accidents that involve operation that violate laws that preexist the speed limit law here in NH.
The only things being proven are: A) The preexisting laws would have worked in all cases; B) therefore, what is the real value of the current Speed Limit law in these non-NH accidents?; C) perhaps elchase should be working at the national level pushing the proven NH 150 foot headway speed law; D) the Winfabs' fear campaign is still blowing smoke at anyone naive enough to listen without thinking.
