Fat Jack......I don't accept the premise that the "majority" of boaters want a speed limit.Anyone can manipulate a poll by carefully wording the questions.If the question had been "Do you support a law that would require boaters to observe a safe and reasonable speed" the results probably would have been the same. That said.....looks to me like you're considering the fact that the bill might not pass and you're getting ready for some non stop carping a la Al Gore and John Kerry.
But even if you do win,Jack, I'm affraid you're not going to be happy.Cruisers will still throw up 4' wakes.....Weirs bay will still be a madhouse.The gofast boats will create even bigger wakes going slower and the canoes and kayaks will take evn a worse pounding.
Wish there was an outcome that would please everyone,but I don't think it's possible.
