OK SO... Evanstar please clear something up fo me because I am VERY interested in your response here. Is this or isn't this a direct quote from YOUR experience on SQUAM:
While kayaking on Squam last summer, my friend and I were both swamped by a speeding boat that passed within 40 feet of us and never even slowed down. So enforcement of current boating regulations seems to be the bigger issue here.
Go ahead and tell us that this was years ago and it doesn't matter. Explain this away, I am dying to hear the answer.

This is from an incident 4 years ago. This is more recent than what proponents dig up supporting their claims for a need for speed limits.
