The glossary for the 2008 Coast Guard boating statistics (page 68) lists their definition of Excessive Speed.

"Excessive Speed - Speed above that which a reasonable and prudent person would have operated under the conditions that existed. It is not necessarily a speed in excess of a posted limit."

And from page 26 - table 13: (note when the speed is known - see how many are under 10 mph or NOT MOVING)
