No matter how you try to look at this, the fact is that 45 mph is a safer speed than 75 mph.
I'm sorry if you're offended by my quote. But you're reading into it a lot more than you should be, after all, kayakers are also boaters.

No it does not kick us off the lake however it does keep us from using our boats to their full potential. I mean if you just spent 150-500K on a boat so that you could go 80 or more MPH then I think that you would be upset, no? However lets forget all that as no one has shown a lick of evidence that a speed limit will help. That is because it does not exist. Lake George has one as has been mentioned. Guess what they have found it to be totally impossible to enforce. Unless you are in a bay hauling past boats close no one there will pull you over for speeding. However common sense says that you do not do that so is the limit really required. I am still for more boater knowledge then boater limits.
