Go into any marina and take a poll. I guarantee it is 80% against the speed limit. Unfortunately, most of those folks are too busy to write to their representatives, and know that it is probably a fruitless effort. Take a poll of the 80% of representatives you reference, how many of them own a boat.

I earned a mechanical engineering degree in college, and did quite well in physics, thank you!

"fruitless" is this argument. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and should be respected.
