I post that the reputation for danger has more effect on the general public than the actual statistic. And you think that means the lake safe.
The statistics are bad, the reputation is worse.

Ugh, I hate getting sucked back in this thread...but...
Can you please post the statistics that support the need for a speed limit. You know, all the incidents that were directly caused by speeds over 45/25.
You know as well as I do that the statistics aren't bad...you just want them to seem like they are, by using the Coast Guard stat that says "excessive speed". Excessive speed. Hmmm, an interesting term, no? What exactly does excessive speed mean? Does it mean a speed over 45/25? Or does it mean a speed that is not reasonable or prudent for the conditions?
