I'm not talking about the 45 states that do allow recreational boating on their resevoirs, I'm talking about the 2 you felt you had to use as a comparison simply because they are the largest in Massachusetts which is totally irrelevant to our topic of discussion here. They are restricted for different reasons.

If boaters keep 150" of distance from you, you are safe. If a boater is going under the proposed 45 mph speed limit & travel too close(inside the 150' required by law) you may not be safe & the speed limit is irrelevant.

And seeing kayakers is only difficult if they do not wear more visible colors which you claim you do so theres no issue there. If you don't its only more difficult to see, that does not mean you can not be seen.

And please don't say you are trying to avoid an argument. You have been heavily involved in the debate for some time now.
