The outer limits I had in mind is a super-duper race boat named the Outer Limits that is pretty much fun to watch from a safe distance when in another boat, and sharing the water, as it roars past your little space. It's size, speed, noise, color, and overall energy is really something to see. WHATTA BOAT......the Outer Limits which used to be docked over at the Naswa.

Some boats like the Outer Limits and the Summa Humma are what one could expect to see in an Arnold Schwarzeneger, action super-hero movie, and it would be a shame to totally legislate these super boats totally off the lake. Hopefully, a small compromise can be made such as Sundays from 8-am to noon for a no-limits, race zone for the go-fasts and their spectator fans.

"The impressive Outerlimits SV 52, had successful sea trials on Lake Winnipesaukee. It's powered by Whipple Supercharged Chief 1200's, has a five-step hull and reportedly hit speeds in the mid-130's on it's first time in the water. The manufacturer says the most impressive characteristic, aside from the acceleration, is the boat's ability to crush the waves. We believe it.

Of course, those kind of speeds from a 50'+ boat are very impressive; apparently this one will not be straying too far from home, the builder indicates the first SV 52 will be spending the summers on Lake Winni in New Hampshire."

I don't see any reason to band this type of boat as long as the driver uses "reasonable and prudent" speed (or something like that).

Just look at this beast...isn't it beautiful:
