I am new to this forum, but a longtime boater on Winnipesaukee (over 50 years) and a High Performance Boating enthusiast. I was disappointed when the SL Law passed and then re-affirmed without much consideration for the SAFE enjoyment of high performance boating on Lake Winnipesaukee. This surely contributed to the economic downturn in the area. However, most high performance boats are owned by small business owners who have been crushed by the collapse of our financial system due to the real estate bubble that is now imploding. The economic impact of the speed limit is relatively minor in comparison. The question that needs to be asked is "will these small business owners return to the lakes region when the real estate market and the economy improves"? Probably not the ones that enjoy high performance boating. Perhaps many people think the Lake is better place without them???
