I have no problem with high speed boats. I’ve been in a friend’s Fountain 15 or so years ago doing in excess of 90. Second most exciting boat ride I have ever had. It isn’t speed that is the problem. The lake is much more crowded then it was years ago and pure probability would say there are more ass-hat operators on the lake then there were years ago.
If you could guarantee me that all people doing 75 + in the broads would have the common sense to slow down and operate safely around other boats in more congested areas I’d be all for upping the speed limit. Unfortunately, you can’t and a few of “me first” operators will ruin it for all. Witness all the “no wake”, “stand on”, & “150 ft” jugheads out there.
In summation, leave the damn speed limit where it is.
