I live on an island and oppose the speed limit. Very easy to get to the mainland if you use a little common sense.

On Mark we drink it too, although being that our pump is in 20+ feet of water we do not have any water problems. I will be adding a purification system this year but it is more for bacteria and silt. Our water quaility was actually very good.
I do not see any correlation between the type of boat and pollution even though some like to push this. Small outboards probably dump as much if not more waste into the lake than a large GHFBL. Just look at the slicks that come off a 2 stroke outboard...
