During the day a boaters visibility is measured in miles, not yards or feet.
Almost every accident on this lake has occurred at NIGHT and involved alcohol. There have been other mitigating factors as well, reduced visibility, operator error, etc etc.
The speed limit is a feel good law that luckily is rarely enforced. I would prefer the MP deal with the boneheads who do not know the ROW rules and the NWZ rules. Usually the 150' rule doesn't get me riled unless they are danger close (<40')

Not sure people will understand you Woodsy, Way Way to much Common Sense in that statement. IQ does not equal Common sense. Money doesn't equal Common Sense. It's either YOU have it or you Don't.
