I am not denigrating the GFBL people although I might be denigrating their boats and their desire to make the ruckus on what is really a small lake.
Finally no I do not have to move to another section of the lake....the GFBL boats simply need to abide by the rules....some do and some do not. Pretty simple.

"desire to make the rukus"
"offending boat"
Remember, the boats that have been on this lake a lot longer than most of us have were sometimes not well muffled. I was here in the early 70's when the flat bottom Sangers with the big blocks with twin open exhaust pipes over the transom were quite common. 90 MPH with just an in or out transmission, no reverse, and a foot operated throttle. Yes things change and some approve and others complain.
Maybe those you you feel "desire to make a rukus" just enjoy the sound of their boat and taking a ride on the lake. When they go by my house or I see them out on the lake, I enjoy the sight and sound and have no complaints. I am glad that a fellow boater is having a good time.
Life is too short. I don't even care how fast they are going, as long as they are doing it safely.
This is New Hampshire! Live free or die. Fewer rules is a good thing.
