I completely oppose the speed limit. I do not own nor have I ever owned a performance boat, I own a “Family Truckster”. I am in one of the groups (for now) that this law is supposed to protect. I believe if laws take liberties away from any group of people, it diminishes us all.

With that being said, I think we have to be realistic. I don’t think unlimited speed on the lake is realistic. While I don’t have a problem with it, I believe the general pubic would. I think we need to come up with a realistic number both sides can live with, and certainly not an arbitrary number like 45. We should use this forum to gather the opinion of all boaters.

So the question is: What is an appropriate limit?
