2. It will not alleviate any of the weekend congestion, however, strategically placed NWZ's will ease it somewhat, especially in the Weirs area and perhaps the SW entrance between Bear Is and Meredith Neck.
3. It will not eliminate 150' rule violations, however mandatory boater education will cut them down somewhat. (Mandatory for everyone, including boat renters & day trippers)
4. It does nothing to reduce BWI infractions.
5. It does nothing to reduce the noise level.

I was going to say pretty much the same things. I would ask those who are in fear of faster boats what it is that makes you think you're in such imminent danger. I ask this to honesty try to understand your mindset*. I would ask others opposing HB-162 to shut up and just listen, inquire respectfully but let's not degenerate into personal attacks and questioning of motives. Certainly there are those who have ulterior motives but I'm also sure there are some who are genuinely concerned about their safety. It's these people that I'd like to understand.
As to complaining customers I really do think that overcrowding and the cut-throat atmosphere this brings out is at the heart of their complaints. It's like taking country people to drive in Boston (or worse DC), it's intimidating to the newbie (and aggravating to everyone).
