When operated on the water, they must abide by all boating regulations (including the proposed speed limit). On the water, even though registered as an OHRV, they are considered a vessel.

By the way, this does not apply on a body of frozen water....so before someone asks it does not apply to snowmobiles or hovercrafts in the winter.

Remember, amphibious aircraft are exempt because two separate state statutes specifically exempt them. No such statute exists for hovercrafts, which do not fit the definition of an aircraft.
