Recognize this slogan?
That's Tres Martin's school for performance boaters -- a school that might get your "Offshore" insurance premiums lower into four-digit figures -- if enrolling and completing it.
Any performance boater HERE ever enrolled? (And you guys did have a "bad 2005 summer", incidentally).
Probably not.
(It's everybody else who needs "Education").

So let me propose the following (not original to me) concept then. What if people who wanted to boat at speeds over ZZ mph were required to have a "performance license" ? Extra training and certification, specific to high speed boating not racing, required as well as a means of letting the MP know that such a license was present onboard the boat that just went by. License collects points and gets rescinded for too many moving violations. You're then restricted to boat at pedestrian speeds. People not wanting to go faster then ZZ don't have to bother with the whole thing. I've left out many details of course but what do people think of the general idea ?
BTW - same idea proposed many years ago for autos
