It doesn't work that way and we all know it.
Why don't we argue the SL as it is written and not pretent it is more than it actually is. Telling an 85 year old man that his center console is about to be banned is hype, not reality.
The nighttime speed limit is 25mph. Most power boats on the lake can go faster than that. Therefore most power boats CAN violate the SL.

Hey B.I. good to have your logic back on the boards... While I disagree with you from an ideological standpoint you are always very clear on your posts.
I think he was originally just trying to prove a point that we maybe on the virge of a slippery slope. Once the SL goes into effect whats next? It has been stated that the SL is just the beginning by more then a few supporters. That this is just a start on an overall agenda of banning particular types of boats.
While I agree that the 23 ft center consol will not be on the chopping block anytime soon, I see what his point was.
Once we begin to infringe on our freedoms by enacting laws to restrict personal liberties where does it end?
