I concur.
For the same reasons that most folks have figured out when and where its safe to speed on our hyways and byways.
For the same reasons that the 45 MPH blanket speed limit for snowmobilers is widely ignored and has had no effect on the proliferation of high speed sleds (including my own).
If the limit passes folks will quickly figure out when and where its utilized and mostly where its not enforced. Others will quickly figure out the court system loopholes.
The Lake crowding will continue to ebb & flow due to the economy, price of fuel and so on, with an occasionally enforced limit eventually having little or no effect.
The real dangers will remain....uneducated boaters, local bars & restaurant overserving boaters, boaters overserving themselves and folks that just no longer practice civility, common sense or courtesy.
And as always, except for the weekends and holidays you can count with your fingers and tows, Lake Winnipesaukee will actually remain the fairly quiet, beautiful and greatly enjoyed resource that draws all of us to this website daily to bask in all that it offers!
