Yes, that's true, but going back to canoes is asking too much, and a motor is good for going the distance.

What would be a happy compromise is mandating the 14' open v-hull powered by a 15-hp tiller handle outboard to be the one and only vessel on Lake Winnipesaukee allowed ..... you understand! The 14' v-hull/15-hp will get up on plane at about 14-mph ...... top speed about 20-mph on a good motor day ..... all the speed U ever need!

Except for a handful of rough weather, windy days, you can go anywhere you want on this lake with a 14' v-hull/15-hp tiller handle provided it has 2-3 bags of concrete for dead weight, way up the bow, to balance the boat .... and make it safer to bounce it all around this lake ..... bounce-bounce-bounce ...... for super hi-tech handling ..... get a tiller handle extension and try standing up in the middle of the boat .... sort of turns it into a 14' wake board or something ....... but, without the wave-maker, wake boat up ahead of it ....... omg!

Wake boats are just a scam plan to sell people an $85,000 wave-maker, fancy-dancy boat when all's you really need is standing up the center of the 14'er with that there tiller handle 48" extension handle ..... an easy do-it-yourself item.
