High speeds and "thrill seeking" have no place on a recreational lake that is shared by small, slow-moving boats. In my opinion, it is insane to allow unlimited speeds on any NH lake.

The Broads are not as open and large as many here seem to suggest. One of the Republican Senators who voted against the speed limit actually stated at the Senate Session that the lake was so large that you can't see land from out in the middle of it. Talk about being totally uninformed!

In reality there's only about 2 square miles of the entire lake that is more than a mile from a shore.
