Only after this sentence does the words "speed limit" enter their mission statement.

I think you're missing the point. If WinnFabs is really concerned about safety then they would be going after enhanced BUI enforcement long before a speed limit. Of all the points we debate I don't believe anyone doubts that BUI is a common theme in the winni fatalities.
You must have missed this sentence in "About WinnFABS"

The motivation behind the forming of our alliance was the introduction into the New Hampshire state legislature of Boating Speed Limit bills which provide for a daytime speed limit of 45 MPH and a nighttime speed limit of 25 MPH.

WinnFABS was created for one purpose. It raised funds telling people the money was for that one purpose. To expend that money elsewhere would be wrong.

It is not for you to determine what the alliance's goals should be. You are free to start your own organization and have whatever goals you wish.

Some people try to build, while other only try to tear down.
