[QUOTE=Bear Islander;112509]Why is it Off Topic?

The MP placed their boats in narrow passages where boats had to slow down to pass them. So obviously the recorded speeds were useless data. Sorry but this entire "Speed Study" was a farce and a waste of time and money. [QUOTE]

Not quite true BI. There were numerous non posted areas where MP stationed their boats and recorded speeds. Those speeds were included in the final report but not broken out according to you, I take your word on that. Over 3,800 readings were taken and about 3 or 4 boats were over 60 mph. Also a mix of marked and unmarked boats were used by MP in an effort to gather this data in a way that most people would understand was not biased one way or the other. Those are the facts, not all speed data was gathered in narrow passages like you think. Please stop the spin. Thanks.
