You are absolutely right....

The most dangerous craft to be in, statistically speaking, is a small, slow moving boat!

Using your logic and facts presented, we need to pass a minimum speed and minimum length boating law. No boats allowed on Winnipesaukee under 20 feet and all boats must be operated at a speed greater than 25 MPH.

Thank you so much for helping us discover what we really need here!

Bon apetit!
