The numbers show that MORE THAN 99% of the boaters on Lake Winnipesaukee did not exceed 45 miles an hour even though there is currently NO SPEED LIMIT!

Guess what, at our lakefront cottage we have a total of 3 boats, and over the years their has been numerous others, but just for now lets say we have three boats, None of them will do over 45 miles an hour.
I really wonder how many boats on the lake will actually do 45 miles per hour. That and then how many of them are making them go 45 miles per hour? and for how long? perhaps between gas pumps!
I would hazzard a guess that perhaps 75% of the boats on Winni9pesaukee will not do 45 miles per hour going down hill!

The over 99% of boaters was taken from the MP report of which I provided a link to.
The actual percentage was 99.1% and it was in response to a post in which I agreed with Bear Islander. His statement was that most people are law abiding and I added the word "reasonable" given that 99% of the boats were clocked at under 45MPH thus proving no additional law is required.
So I would venture to say if you are representative of a lakefront owner with boats and none of your boats will do over 45 miles an hour then it makes the case even further that a speed limit is not needed.
