Sorry looks like I have to recant my comments about GFBL, as
I might be one,,,
Well except for the fact that both my boats a quiet (below waterline exhaust) and I have not seen the other side of 45 on Winnipesaukee since we had kids,,, LOL
That said I do thoroughly enjoy the sound of a strong marine engine off in the distance and live for a good blast across the lake when the conditions allow.
Clearly we all need to exercise some reasonable judgment about exhaust sound and speed, but that is common sense.
Still not 100% sure if GFBL is a derogatory term??? Does enjoying powerboating make me one of the bad guys??? Sure hope not, but I have to fess-up that I LOVE my boats, and to me boating means a good sounding engine, some speed, and the smell of good gas and 2-cycle oil! Oh ya and plenty of time just floating around and anchoring at the sand bar with the kids splashing around and having fun.
Never known Winnipesaukee as an isolated “get away from it all” kind of lake. There are plenty of other lakes for that if you are so inclined. Winnipesaukee is a place to go for recreation and always has been for over 100 years!
Sorry, next time I will research acronyms before commenting,,,
