Winni is large and the lakes that already have HP limits are small. But legally that makes no difference.
Boat manufacturers would not have a say in this. They can of course lobby against it. But it only requires the NH legislature and the Governors signature to put a HP limit on Winnipesaukee. It also could be accomplished by a Dept. of Safety administrative rule being adopted. Legislation is not even required if you go that route. Most of the HP limits on other lakes were done by administrative rule.
The federal government has nothing to do with this.
Nobody that I know of is actually trying to do this. This is just one man's idea, mine. I very much doubt we will see a HP limit on Winni any time soon. However in the long run I think additional limts of some kind will be coming.
If down the road things get worse instead of better, if we have a couple of more high profile accidents, then legislation could pass.
Or I could be wrong.
