Speed limits on the lake is an ISSUE make no mistake about it, ah what should be a bigger issue is the 150' law make no doubt about that either. I can see achol being a big issue as well, Even though I like to have a drink or a beer once in awhile out on the lake.

We, the boating public, need to take all the safety ideas and work with them, whether it be 150' achol, or speed. no two of them mixed works well.

How fast can a 40' boat stop when it is doing 45 mph? how big of a turn radius does it take? I think that is where the GF boats can be in trouble with speed, especially within the bays and coves of the lake.

Now pass me a drink, I am going out and break the rules in my kayak and the no wake zone.
