2 things: 1) “100,000 watercraft” doesn’t equal 100,000 powerboats. It includes power, sail, rowboats, kayaks, SUPS, etc. and I’m willing to bet the vast majority are in the last 5 categories. 2) Because your circle of friends doesn’t include anyone that thinks we need a speed limit (which I don’t believe) doesn’t mean that a majority of lake boaters don’t. Based on the hard facts we know (i.e., a majority of correspondence against the proposed rule & what was it, 27 to 3 in testimony) I’d say a majority were against it. Kinda like voting in an election.
