Wow is this a hot topic here.. Perhaps another point of view can bring this thread somewhat back to center..
The speed limit ...
Personaly I think the idea has merit . However as a regular winni boater I can attest to rarely having problems with the speed of any boat ..but the lack of knowledge as to the rules of safe passage .And the lack of awareness as to ones surroundings.. I would much rather see some sort of limit to the numbers and size of vessels on the lake.. I dont believe a speed law will have an effect on either. And this has been reitterated by the head of the Marine Patrol himself ! Wouldnt it be more beneficial to have them available immediately in case of an accident rather than tied up with a speeder that MAY contribute to an accident. We live on the lake and see less high speed boats every year for whatever reason.. And the noise level has also improved greatly since that law was passed.. If you aske me ..HERES THE PROBLEM
