What you neglected to show on that report was that the operator of the rescue boat was inexperienced with that craft which is exactly what most of here against the speed limit sight as the problem.It's the inexperienced small boat operaters that we see all of the time driving like Capt. Bonehead.Thanks for making our point!

SS you make good points for discussion. My argument sounded crazy, which was basically my intention. What you demonstrated was that this accident was not caused by a go-fast boat. You also demonstrated that accidents are caused a lot of times by inexperienced Capt. Boneheads. Great points. Why then are these people so intent on ramming a speed limit down everyone's throat when there is no record of accidents caused by speeding go-fast boats?
