If I'm remembering this correctly, you can pretty much take it to the bank that, if you do get a 100 hp limit passed, there will be a great many furious cruiser owners who will insist that the "no exceptions" interpretation is enforced.....

Having a different HP limit for commercial and non-commercial boats is not granting a business special rights. Anyway a HP limit signed into law would be its own RSA and supersede the one skip quoted. Or, if need be, an exception could be added to the earlier RSA.

And if you don't like any of those answers remember that my idea is to only limit boats made after 2008. The Mount, Sophie, Doris and Bear can meet that requirement.

I didn't start the 100HP idea. Mine was 300HP.
