Exclamation State wide speed limit

So, it's reasonable to assume that GF-BLs from Mass would want to trailer on up to the no-speed limit, Winnipesaukee waters.
I will have to disagree. There are lakes in Massachusetts that don't have speed limits. I have a friend that owns property on Webster Lake on the Mass, Conn border. He says that is the first time he heard of it. Many of the bass boats on that lake are buzzing around at twice that speed. You won't see the deep vees on that lake as it is very swallow and it is difficult to get on plane. Most of the lakes in Mass. don't even have bouys! The ones I've been on have plastic milk bottles floating on the surface designating underwater hazards. I have to laugh as the locals on the lake calls underwater hazards: 'sunken islands'.
