If you really believe that I suggest you enroll in a basic physics course, because you do not know how to Do The Math.

A kayak with a drunk operator, a 22' bowrider with a drunk operator, a 1,700 horsepower Nor-Tech with a drunk operator. They are all just as dangerous?

I really hope some Senators are reading this.
I hope they are too! And yes, I stand by that statement and my math is just fine - as is my physics comprehension! I am not looking to split hairs and discuss semantics here, I am simply stating that a drunk behind the wheel (or paddle) of ANY BOAT is dangerous and has the POTENTIAL to kill. I'm not looking to discuss the whole E=MC2 or how weight has an effect on impact with varying speeds, or why you think a Nor-Tech (amazingly well built and performing boat, BTW) with 1,700hp is "extra dangerous" or whatever...


Just admit it - you hate the player, not the game!! You hate the "big-bad" performance boats - for whatever twisted reason you have come up with in your head - and want to run them out of town...

Do you know Acres Per Second by chance?
