I'd be interested to hear the answer to this one as well.
I did google performace boat accident, 2005, NH and got nothing except a discussion on this forum about a PWC ramming the side of a Formula near Christmas Island, and a Laconia Citizen writer admitting that his editors insisted that anything over headway speed be written as "high speed".
I couldn't find the accident
Pineedles described, anyone else?

And that is just local. There is absolutely no reason to ignore national statistics. The New Hampshire accident rate is rising while most states have seen them fall. More than enough evidence for anybody that has an open mind.
Plus, after all that is said, safety is still not the main reason we need speed limits.
If this thread follows the usual routine, we will now be given lame excuses why none of those deaths count.

How about the fatal accident last year?
How would a speed limit have prevented these 2 accidents?
You can have the one accident on the broads. What was the speed?
Yes, NH's accident rate may be rising. But how many of those accidents have been directly caused by speeds over 45/25?

Hi. Any relevant stats for me yet?
