I want everyone to be able to enjoy the lake. I respect all boaters on the lake.

I personally would never blast through the broads at 45mph anywhere near 150' away from a sail boat, guys fishing, etc because I dont feel it is sensible. However if I am over 500 feet away I dont see what harm I am causing going say 60mph vs 45mph.

I want to apologize to everyone for getting so off topic debating nonsense, when I should have stayed focused on the real issue.

Onlywinni, This is the type of idea and thinking that needs to be fostered... this has some good merits to it.... I like the way it keeps the speed wide open when your out in the open....

As for getting off topic, don't worry about it... it shows the true colors of other people.... you had a stance you defended, and made sure you point was understood..... unfortaunatly some people will just never understand......
