So why can't we all stop the arguing and complaining and work towards a solution that we all can live with?

I think that's a fine idea.
Here's what I would propose, see if it flies.
1. Increase the number of MP officers on Winni
2. Tie violations of the Inland boating rules in with the drivers license of
the vessel operator.
3. Enforce the 150' headway speed law. (as well as other laws on the books)
4. Bring the NH Boating certificate law up to the standards of the NASBLA and
eliminate the "on-line certificate" option.
In reading the various posts on both sides of this issue it seems to me that the underlying issue in this debate is the 150' headway speed law that is not being followed or routinely enforced.
There needs to be better communication and response between boaters/shoreside residents with MP so that they can identify where the violations are happening and can adjust their man/woman power accordingly.
I have seen conditions on Winni where doing 60 MPH is fine, I have seen other conditions in which doing 30 would be fool hardy.
Thoughts?
BTW even though I am a taxpayer in NH, I don't get a vote so yes, I'm just one of those "Massachusetts know it alls"
that shouldn't be allowed to have a say.
Just as long as I keep paying my taxes!
