Does that mean that only small boat owners will be able to run over other boats while driving drunk? I vote that all drunk boaters be restricted to 25 mph all the time if in a boat 12' to 17.5', 20 mph for drunks in boats 18' to 22', and headway speed only for all drunks in boats 25' or over. Note the special exemption for cruisers or open fishing boats of any size.

There were several splendid examples just last year of accidents involving boaters that don't operate crafts within your relatively narrow field of vision.
