The go-fast boats are still here... and with the economy turning around and gas being cheaper you will see them more often. I personally only know of 1-2 people who treaded in their go-fast for cabin cruisers... they don't go fast anymore, but its yet another BIG wake on the lake!
To most people who have the $$ to own and operate the bigger go-fast boats usually own companies... and most of those companies took a hard hit with economy being in the tank. More than few lost a lot of $$ when the real estate market took a hit as well. Then add in gas prices over $5 gal for Super...
You will see more of us out there....
I for one never left!
I MHO the daytime speed limit has done nothing....
