I think what islander is saying is that because there isn't a speed limit the performance boats come here. And by extension if there's a speed limit they won't (as much). I tend to disagree because I think people come to boat on Winni because of it's inherent properties. There's always been a minority segment of the population that is performance oriented and they aren't going to buy a pedestrian bowrider because of a speed limit. As I said earlier people still buy Ferrari's etc even in our speed limited US. Should HB-162 pass I predict the performance boaters will still be here, still come, because of Winni's inherent properties. High speed isn't the only reason they boat here.
Now all of this is interesting speculation but since there's no way I can prove, or disprove, any of it I guess I've said enough. One thing islander and I share is a concern of what the lake will be like in 10 or 20 years. I worry less about the performance boats and more about the sheer number of boats but that's a whole different topic.
