I think its time people start reviewing their safe boating books that they had to read to get their license. There is no legal limit on drinking while driving a boat, its the point of imparment as detimined by MP. You can blow a .04 and still get a DWI. The only no tolerance activity in this state is snowmobileing. As far as a speed limit, there are more dangerous things going on on the lake than that, like not knowing navigational markers. I watched someone last summer cut 2 black tops because he thought those and our mouring field markers were chanel markers, his words not me guessing. he did hit a rock and damaged his lower unit, and if he was just a little farther in he would have hit a bigger rock that would have surely injured his passengers. That to me is more dangerous than someone doing 60 across the broads. Education and experience should be the focus, not more restrictions that are going to be laughed at by those who need to feed their egoes.
