I do not agree with your statement "Boats are made for water and it is the owners who decide where to use them". The citizens of NH own the lake, and ultimately they decide the boating laws. Shorty their elected representatives will vote on HB162 and we will all have to live with the results.

GFBL boats will not vanish. But over time there will be fewer of them. People have complained in this very forum that they will be trailering elsewhere if HB162 passes.

You ask if a 40' cabin cruiser is OK. I ask where is the limit? Is it 60' or 100' or even 200'? Where is the limit?

How big a wake is to big? How much shore erosion is to much? How much pollution is unhealthy? How much noise is acceptable? How fast is unsafe? There is a limit to everything, and I believe we are there.
