I am not for or against a speed limit. Could care less.....but I don't know that you could compare the situation on the lake today to what it was like 70-80 years ago. Were there long lines of boats trying to get through the Weirs channel in 1935?...or throngs of rafters in Braun Bay?

um....aren't there high speed boat races in Wolfeboro every other year? Is someone adbvocating that they be discontinued?
