Default Enforcement is not the point

Many people don't want to disobey the law - which is why ineffective proposals are worth fighting before they become law. For example, bass boaters in tournaments safely go 60-70 mph early in the morning. There is no traffic, the lake is flat, and their noise is quickly gone due to their speed. They are VERY safe boaters. This crowd is always concerned about its image, and in some cases, the tourney rules demand the laws are obeyed or the boat is disqualified from the contest. If a law is passed, these law abiding boaters will have to slow down. The result will be more wake and longer periods of noise at 7AM. So - there would be a negative impact to them and others who enjoy early morning quiet.
