I really don't care if you think they apply to HB162 or not.

Excessive speed is the #4 cause of boating accidents That is from the USCG and it is my justification for HB162. I do not care about any explanations or quibbles on that point.

28 is more than 25 and a jury acquitted on BWI This is a death on Winnipesaukee at a speed greater than proposed. I do not care about any
explanations or quibbles!

I understand you have a long list of reasons why the above is not fair or factual or does not apply. But I reject them! All of them!
The reason they could not convict due to BWI , they didn't have the facts and figures the night of the accident!
USCG excess speed is defined as TOO FAST FOR CONDITIONS and you know that but won't admit it.

The politcians , after hashing over the TRUE facts and figures , will have no choice but to reject HR162. The opponents have done their homework well. It's all but a done deal .Next year you can bring up another bill


After all , 45 is hardly a fast speed
