Boats would require a metalicl reflector visable from all sides for radar to work on sloped fiberglass surfaces. Correct me if I'M wrong but the speed would have to be estimated by the MP, tough sell when appealed. Few stationary points of reference and distance to/from objects. Again, enforce the existing safety laws.
