And by incidents I mean boats traveling at ANY speed. The shear volume of craft that you suggest are using the waters during this period to create the supposed 2,200 "speeders" or does not exist. I explained in it a literal manner and I believe Woodsy has explained it in a finite matter extremely well. It seems that you can't comprehend this because you disagree with the numbers. For a moment forget the debate and just pretend we are debating the volume of traffic on the lake. Now do you really think that your numbers represent an accurate example of the volume of craft on the lake in a 10 week period?

Using YOUR formula YOU extrapolated 2200 boats going over 50 MPH or approximately 28.5 per day over the 77 day period!
Using YOUR formula I extrapolated 768,200 boats going under 50 MPH or approximately 9976.6 per day over the 77 day period!

768,200 + 2,200 =
770,400 boats in 77 days
or...
770,400 / 77 days =
10,005.2 boats per day
Phew, so many boats, little wonder the Senate voted to pass HB847...
Now, if only the House and Senate would pass a Bill requiring
all vessels, be they wind, power, or paddle, to pay a registration fee to help fund the NHMP.
