Not blaming you in the least it is a common misconception.

I've been involved in boating since before I started grade school. If it can be done on a boat/on the water there is a high probability I have done it.
I'm well aware of the marketing angle of a poker run.
Your post leaves me very confused though. If the Poker Run is not a race in any way shape or form, then why exactly would new laws discourage performance boat owners from participating?
What has changed from last year to this year that affects boats in an event that is not a race?
