Ok....so it's all about the newly passed switchable exhaust law, and has absolutely nothing to do with things like the weather, the price of a gallon of gas, and yes......gasp.....the unmentioned here in this thread up till now .....quiet now.....pssst......the 45/30 speed limits law...shhhhhh...quiet on that item everyone!!! ???
Just thought of this.....and another real reason there's less boats out there on Winnipesaukee....is because the Ames' Farm boat launch area has become closed as of 2010 to non-hotel guests or general public use. Ames' Farm had been a popular boat launch and get-together spot for a long long time, and now it's closed. Unlike the nearby Lakes Newfound, Winnisquam, and Squam: Lake Winnipesaukee doesn't have a state boat launch so trailer boaters are probably trailering to these three state boat launch lakes which are free-to-use, well designed, and complete with parking, rest rooms, ramps and docks.
Does that make any sense to you?
