He didn't think a speed limit would completely solve the problem. But he did think it might reduce the weekend madness of the lake in the future.
Looks like he was right.

Being that I have a direct view head on at Camp Lawrence and am in the thick of it, the Camp director has it somewhat correct. There is plenty of madness, but it isn't a few fast boats and speed that is causing it. It is overall traffic, uneducated boaters, rental boats, lack of courtesy, and disobeyance of the existing laws that makes it a mad house in the area.
