I think 60 MPH on a boat is more than a little different that 60 MPH in a car.

I will not disagree, in the boat the wind is in my face, and I don't have other vehicles within feet of me... In the boat, my vision is not encumbered by structural members reduce vision and create blind spots. So yes they are different...

I am way more relaxed on the water at 50-60 MPH then I am in the car with traffic immediately around me at the same speed...

With that said... speed at that rate, by itself doesn't cause tunnel vision... otherwise cars and motorcycles wouldn't be allowed to go that fast....
