Thumbs up Reasonable and prudent makes nothing but good sense

Take them to the ocean, it's only a ˝-hour away from peaceful boaters.
Over-sized boats is all relative. You want to limit SIZE than address that with SIZE restrictions and not speed. You can have small vessels that go wicked fast. Faster than reasonable and prudent for some conditions.

APS, what is reasonable and prudent speed for a 15 foot Boston Whaler is different under the same lake conditions than for a 21 foot cuddy cabin or a 24 foot performance boat or a 26 foot cabin cruiser or that 56 foot Carver luxury yacht.

I don't think the 56 foot luxury yacht can get even close to the 30 or 45 mph speed limits but it is the only one that I think should go to the ocean.

Reasonable and prudent speeds for the boat and conditions is common sense in writing.
