And if we are limited to boats this small, how many more safety issue will occur on windy days in the broads. I am not against certain areas and shore distances having speed limits, but horsepower limits will make some areas of the lake impassable as a result of boat size.

Maybe property owning islanders would be exempt from this rule so they can reach their island properties, and that would increase island property values as we will be the only fast boats going 45mph.
