You said it yourself, the boat was going 28 mph. This would have been illegal operation under HB162.
There is definitely a prejudices involved. I am prejudiced against boats that are to big, to fast, and to noisy for a crowded lake. But mostly I dislike the "get out of my way" attitude that can be displayed by any boater but is a serious problem when he is operating a GFBL.
I'm sure there are many high performance boat operators that are responsible and educated, it's a shame they are about to be hurt by this new law.
