I have time now, and this issue is important. I have a few questions for you. Do you even own a power boat? Have you ever gone fast in a power boat?
I have owned power boats most of my adult life. Not fast ones, just family boats. My dad owned boats that would do 60+ MPH for 40 years. His last boat was an Eliminator Daytona 27. It would do 85-90 depending on the wind and the chop. (Interesting fact: you go faster into a slight chop and wind than with the chop and wind.)
Anyway, I had the privilege of driving and being with him going fast. Real fast. Went with him with my wife and my kids when they were young. Never once felt unsafe. My dad (and me when I drove) we’re safe, alert and responsible.
After the implementation of the speed limit, he sold his boat.
I am passionate about the issue since most on the wrong side of the issue have never owned a power boat. They really don’t know what they are talking about.
One so-called expert doesn’t define the issue.
Anyway, one thing I know is true - my side lost the battle and the war. Given NH’s demographics, it is unlikely that we’ll have another shot at it.

And since you did not quote the entirety of my last post I will repeat it.
"And I have taken a screen shot of your venomous assault should this all be scrubbed. And a word of advice. Before it gets scrubbed you might want to issue an apology/mia culpa. And take a screen shot of it. It might be helpful for you down the line."
And the answer to your 2 questions is yes and yes.
Oh yeah and your comment..."It was a joke". Like I alluded to, we now have a great deal of insight into your character.
