Now, in the context of what we are discussing, what lake are you referencing when you write;
I would like to see how you were able to eliminate excessive speed (sorry, that doesn't exist without speed limits, right?) without either Marine Patrol support or banning certain types of watercraft?
See my link above to the Marine Patrol Restricted Bodies of Water in NH!
KonaChick seems to know of what lake you speak, so why not share it?

In my political activist youth, Judd Gregg and I petitioned the Department of safety for restrictions on Sunset Lake in Greenfield. There was a hearing, we presented our case, and won the day. I gave up politics but Judd went on the be a Congressman, Governor and Senator.
The speed limit worked. It still works today. The camp has closed, but the other lake residents want to keep the speed limit.
Sorry, but there is nothing about what happened on Sunset lake that argues against HB847, quite the contrary. I have seen boating speed limits work fist hand.
