Go into any marina and take a poll. I guarantee it is 80% against the speed limit. Unfortunately, most of those folks are too busy to write to their representatives, and know that it is probably a fruitless effort. Take a poll of the 80% of representatives you reference, how many of them own a boat.

I earned a mechanical engineering degree in college, and did quite well in physics, thank you!
Fortunately those 80% of reps that I reference listened to their constituents. You know, the ones who boat on the lake. As did the 18 to zero reps who who voted Wednesday to table the bill. I'm glad I took time from my busy schedule to write to my reps as it was not fruitless in the least. I suspect that you didn't.
