One lake named Thirteenth Lake in Johnsburg NY and not thirteen lakes in New York state is probably more accurate. Thirteenth Lake allows electric trolling motors.

Is a wee bit confusing .... http://www.visitlakegeorge.com/recre...hirteenth-lake .... with regard to "Thirteen Lakes have been shut down to powerboats ... "

So, is it 13 different lakes that he's trying to make you believe and mis-lead the public like so many politicians do on purpose, or is that the name of ONE LAKE that has been shut down?

In 2011 or 2012, one lake named Thirteenth Lake in Johnsburg, New York was closed to gasoline engines and limited to electric motors only.

Thirteenth Lake is 329-acres, at an elevation of 1673', located in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area with the lake shore predominantly State of New York owned lands classifies as wilderness. Some privately owned parcels adjoin the lake.

Private homeowners and others complained about noise, air pollution and water pollution issues.

FLL was just trolling and you took the bait. You'll get used to it in awhile. BTW, There are several NH lakes where power boats are prohibited, or where there are like 10 mph speed limits. They're listed in your rule book.

The sentence in the quoted letter from John Ratcliffe that says " Thirteen lakes have been shut down to power boats in New York state because of pollution." is not a factual statement, and it probably was derived from the power boat shut-down on Thirteenth Lake.

......just say'n .... that's all ..... possibly a Google search showed that Thirteenth Lake in New York state was shut down and it got re-translated into thirteen lakes in New York state have been shut down.

I knew the answer before I wrote the question. Was waiting for a response from that thread starter. Yes FLL, it was done with intent. It sounds much better to some to say it that way.

This just came to my in box. HB 1424 has been defeated today, apparently with a loud enough majority voice vote that a roll call vote was not done. Rep. Bordes, the sponsor of the bill, chose not to speak. And with a vote of 15:3 against the bill in the Transportation Committee and with the defection of 4 of the bill's 6 original co-sponsors the outcome should surprise no one. There was significant bipartisan support for our present 45/30 speed limit law.

Dear 45/30 Supporters:

We are pleased to report that the NH House has voted “Inexpedient to Legislate” (ITL) on HB 1424. This action grants final approval to the Transportation Committee recommendation to kill the bill. The House action ensures the current speed limit law will remain in place.

Today’s vote was conducted by voice only, so no record or roll call will be available.
