Lake George NY is a good example of what happens after a speed limit is introduced.........boaters get the message, quickly.
Yes, if the law passes, people will get the message, but why should it cost 88 bucks and violiation points to safely go fast. Especially this time of year, where there are few boats, speed is not a problem. Don't put the cost of fear and revenge on safe boaters who like to go fast - even if there are only a few of them.
