Many years ago I was the director of a New Hampshire children's camp, thankfully not on Winni. Many times I watched helplessly from shore when speed boats came near my campers.
When you live on a point on Winni, like I do, you can get very nervous when swimmers are in the water. I dislike swimming out further than the end of my dock.
I have neighbors on Bear Island that do not go out in their boats on weekends. I guarantee you this is for real. Just like some people will not drive through Boston during rush hour.

Not saying this isn't a problem but it seems like it's already well covered by the no wake/150' laws. Not sure It would make much difference if a swimmer was hit by a boat going 40 MPH or 50 MPH, either would most likely be fatal.
