Horsepower limits, length limits, two stroke bans, etc. etc. are just around the corner.

Sunset if we do as you suggest, just turn a blind eye and accept this, we are losing the beginning battle in a long war. So perhaps you don't care if HP limits, length limits and two stroke bans etc. are enacted. I don't know your stance. I for one think that this is the beginning of a bad, bad time for Lake Winnipesaukee.

This is not a "sky is falling" mentality. It's reality. I know there are many on your side telling you that it's just not true but it is. I can tell you that BI will at least be honest and tell you that the HP limit is a not too distant reality. Bye bye cruisers. Some will applaud, the same individuals who are applauding the speed limit. It is biased targeting. I think it is a shame. This is not Squam lake. This lake has its own identity. If you want Squam move to squam. Many chose this lake due to its personality. Many are trying to shape it into something it is not nor will ever be.

I seriously and sincerely want some of you to remember the above 2 quotes the next time the SL supporters are accused of "fear mongering". Some opposers warned the lake's region economy would similarly crash and burn. (BTW Hazelnut, I do in fact feel a little ashamed of using you in a multiquote after you taught me how to do it...)

When SL supporters tell how civilized the lake seemed last summer, this is one argument we hear from the opposers. Actually half the summer was a washout. August and early September were beautiful.

Yes or No? It's real easy to answer.

I know of a guy from Long Lake Maine who had a list of automobile moving violations a mile long. He seemed to feel laws in general didn't apply to him. We all know the rest of the story. I hope no one buys his boat, NO PATIENCE, and brings it to Winnipesaukee.
