It's been fixed—look again.
It's a little camera supported on a railing, and there was no way to get the perp to slow down. The Marine Patrol certainly wasn't "on it". Quote:
http://www.screamandfly.com/content....-How-To-Fix-It But thanks for the 70-MPH opinion. There are brief segments in that latest "run" that suggest the Donzi is at 70-MPH (and "chine-walking"). Quote:

So you took a video that shows a boat! You claim a violation of 2 RSA's and that the boat is dangerously chine walking.I don't see it. IMHO, The boat is certainly not over the Db limit and neither is the boat chine walking or violating the speed limit...
It is your OPINION that the operator is in violation... but that's just it.... just like my observation of your video, IT IS OPINION, NOT FACT! Its a 16 foot boat... HARDLY an ocean racer! Its actually designed for water skiing... the original model name for the boat was Ski-Sporter. With the engine above 2000 RPM he wouldn't use his switchable exhaust anyway! Your lack of comprehension of how that system works truly amazes me! Especially since it has been explained to you so many times! Who is the Idiot?? Hmmmm..... Harassment? WE the PEOPLE of NH have a RIGHT to use the Lake in any manner we see fit WITHIN the LAWS & RULES set forth by NH RSA's and SAF-C 400! If those uses annoy you.. well too bad for you! Your family property borders what is essentially a State Park... you do not have any RIGHT to Peace and Quiet. You are not a captive audience... Feel free to move... Like maybe just stay in Florida? I will not justify your ISIS comparison... you do a great disservice to those people in our armed forces who actually fight & direct the war on terrorism... APS=BS!!! ![]() Woodsy

That one NHMP call regarded three paddleboats connected by lines and swimmers in the pinch-point at Keewaydin Point. The dispatcher insisted they were doing nothing wrong. (As they were difficult to see among the multiple lanes of heavy waterskiing, sailing, tubing, and high-speed travel—"doing nothing wrong" was hardly the point in calling). Fortunately, the MP appeared before the call ended, correctly addressed the situation, and I could hang up on the dispatcher. ![]() Previous calls to the NHMP addressed open exhausts, which I timed so the dispatcher could hear the exhausts blasting our conversation! ![]() I appreciate the ability to "counter" risk-takers who believe they should be allowed to trash the lake's quiet bays, harbors and coves. It's an American freedom that some would squash—if they could. ![]() Quote:

The instability can be seen when the Donzi approaches and then leaves intervening foliage. 'Course, an unwilling viewer won't be able to see it or hear the Illegalities involved. ![]() From last year, I have much shorter video of the same Donzi, where the Illegal noise and speed can't be dismissed. Just this minute, a ½-hour before sunset, an even noisier yellow boat sped by Illegally twice, towing a skier at the end of a 150' ski rope. ![]() ![]() Quote:
![]() • Florida currently has an "Ocean-Racer driver" serving 85 years in jail for his beer-driven "need for speed". His attitude was no different than the alcohol-driven assaults of "Performance Boat drivers" seen on Lake Winnipesaukee at Meredith, Diamond Island, Gilford, and most reprehensibly, at Long Lake—which bears more than a strong resemblance to Winter Harbor—the scene of both videos. • Justice in New Hampshire? Not so much. "Justice" in New Hampshire pales in comparison. Pajamas Justice for a killing? ![]() ![]() • Consider the national study that shows Florida (with its extremely long coastline, and year-round fair weather), has a lower percentage of imbibers than Massachusetts—and the rest of New England. • Besides, I have family going back generations here, even before Tuftonboro got electricity. We're not leaving. ![]() Quote:

I can see the face palm the dispatcher gives him/herself when they see APS' caller ID pop up on their screen!
APS: "Tell those meanies to stop boating on MY lake" Dispatch: "Certainly sir, now I need to go before I start laughing in your ear" |

I get it and I am afraid of you, happy? Feel free to stop by if you have an issue now that you know the big secret of where i live. |

In describing your "It's Not A Race" event (which I provided on YouTube) , "Safe" Boaters of New Hampshire described your boat as a 31-foot Sonic emblazoned with racing checkered flag graphics. Anyone boating from Welch Island to points south can see it prominently moored off Rattlesnake Island. (Or hear its peculiar noise while visiting Keewaydin Point).
Take complaints to them. Factoid: "Surface-piercing" propellers date back to 1927. ![]() ![]() |

Ok, lets try a different tactic,
APS, do you want a ride on a boat? Let me know and I will gladly take you for a ride so you can see people wave and smile at it when we are on the lake. I will come pick you up in winter harbor. Sent from: Rattlesnake Island! |

I guess the cure for the dreaded forum antagonistic disease is a kind offer to share your viewpoint.
