disclaimer: My boat can't go 45 mph unless it's on a trailer towed behind some suitable vehicle.

Al stated this, not this raises a question can you tow your boat over 45mph

stupid question.

I been reading these posts posted today, with blame of the speed limit proposal on kayaks, and canoes. I do not find them responsible for this change, nor do I find it the big boats go fast either. It is the fault of every boat/boater that fails to follow the rules and regulations, to take responsibility of their actions. If boats/boaters would follow and abide by the 150' rule Their should not be a problem. However, I think at night we need to have a speed limit, and I am thinking that 25 is really too fast. And my thoughts are when their is a group say in Alton Bay, or the Weirs, or Wolfeboro Harbor watching fireworks and leaving. But again 150' rule is not being inforced is it. I think on the 4th of July in Alton their is over 1000 boats for the fireworks, and I wonder how many get ticketed for failuer to obseve the 150' rule when leaving. I know that they are not doing headway speed.
