Noise??
If there is such a concern with noise emanating from the GFBL's why is it illegal in NH to have switchable exhaust systems on lakes? Makes no sense to me. It is not illegal to have thru-hull exhaust and it is not illegal to have exhaust divert through the prop under water so why should it be illegal to switch between the two? Heck, let it rip in the broads but muffle it in the congested areas.
I have been passed by pontoon boats that can now do over 45mph, shall we outlaw pontoon boats too? By the way, why have some of the people for speed limits on this site from past posts using gfbl's as their avatar? This speed limit battle will never be over. Even if it ever passed which I do not think it will the enforceability will be non-existent. The budget is tight enough as it is that they will never be able to afford enough MP and equipment to enforce it. The revenue generated from tickets will not offset it. My vote has and always will be "NO SPEED LIMIT"!!! |

Acres you are just jelous that people actually like to look at our boats as we go through the harbors and are rafted up to the docks and they don't care about yours As for pulling off our site that there are a few idiots that drink and boat well good for you. Out of the THOUSANDS of memebers you found a few..... If I had the time to go to sailing web sites to look at what they are talking about then I am sure I woudl find MANY more posts then that. You want to know why? Because the mentality is heck I am only going 5 knots how much damage can I do.... LOTS!!!!
At any rate I am glad that You all are finally at leaste admitting to why you truely want to speed limit. You think it will make it so we do not want to come to the lake. You think that it will make your lake quite and peacefull. Why don't you all go after the wood boats? They are often times running strait pipes? I know of a bunch on that lake that do not pass the noise laws but since they are what they are you do not make a stink about them. I think it is just sad that you guys do not have a clue about how these boats run or any of the people that own them and you judge us all. What is next..... no people on the lake unless you are white???? |

The fact is that the first 100 yards off shore is the most dangerous place to kayak in the ocean. Many experienced sea kayakers go several miles off shore, and going even 12 to 15 miles out isn't that uncommon.

Thread Closed
I am closing this thread. Very little about the pros and cons of a speed limit are being discussed and many of the messages now contain little more than insults and attacks on other posters. The worst of those messages were not approved and don't appear.
Since I'd rather not have to reject more messages and everyone seems to have had their say on speed limits it's time for this topic to close for now. |
