I can understand why some people love the speed and sound of these powerful speed boats, but they have a time and place for them and Lake Winni is not one of them. The engines in these boats need to run at a certain RPM for a certain amount of time in order for them to stay healthy. That means if you use them on Lake Winni you will have to run them at a speed that makes it unsafe for other Lake users. GFB’s were designed to be used for racing on the high seas and not for Lakes that are used for recreational boating.
If GFB owners want to cruise around Lake Winni and enjoy what it has to offer then there is nothing wrong with that. But they should stay within the SL at all times so the rest of us folks can enjoy the Lake also.
My Jet Ski is almost silent, but on occasion, I opt to jet ski to breakfast. While the top speed of the jet ski is maybe 10MPH faster than the temporary speed limit, theoretically, you and your family will NEVER lose any sleep while I am travelling through the broads at 50mph. I only make this point because you are clearly singling out one type of boat (7 times) in your post above.
