All we are looking for is a little honesty here. Just call it like it is. It's a means to an end.

I have been totally honest here. Yet whenever I mention the fact that I have had high speed boats violate my 150 foot zone - because they were apparently going too fast to see me in time - many of the anti-speed limit crowd has accused me of exeragerating, lying, not knowing what 150 feet looks like, not knowing what 45 mph looks like, and many other things.

I have never twisted anything, yet I have been repeatedly accused of doing do. The truth is that some operators travel faster then their ability to see smaller boats in time to stay out of the 150 foot zone. I've seen this happen way too much.

In my opinion, a speed limit will help reduce this, because boats will have to slow down. I've spent a great deal of time on Squam, which has a speed limit - and it seems to work there just fine.
