Now if we can enforce the current laws and make the safety course more stringent with a refresher course every few years, it will go a long way.
Adding more laws without enforcement does not work!

I agree. Looking at the crowds on the water today, the last thing I think should happen is to get rid of the speed limit. If it were up to me (and I know it isn't) I would add resources ($$$) to the marine patrol to enable them to better enforce existing laws, create a stricter education/license program, and greatly increase the registration/lake fees on boats larger than 25 feet to help fund things. Popular and realistic? No.
