Islander,
Other laws were broken by the operator of that boat and there is no reason to conclude your proposed law would have made a difference.
I know that many will quibble and try to explain away or excuse this "statistic"..[/QUOTE]
Yet you excuse all accident statistics.
What about the "personal freedom" of the rest of us that don't need to go 90 MPH.[/QUOTE]
You are free not to go 90 with current regulations. knock your socks off.
Offshore boats and huge cabin cruisers were designed for the ocean, not 150' (or less) from our docks.[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about...Should small boats not be allowed on the Ocean???? Do you just have something against the Boating Industry.
