Am I, boating about in my 24' non-performance boat, likely to get smacked by someone going fast or by some drunk ? How much safer am I with HB-162 ? What makes 25/45 and not some other limits the correct numbers ? Is there any way to solve the "safety" problem other than HB-162 ?

If you click the link and count the posts you will find 25, not 50. Posts are being deleted! Are you just trying to confuse the issue by saying 50?
The accidents mentioned show that speed is dangerous, speed kills. There is no way to "solve the safety problem", HB162 is just one step in the right direction.
Read the link below. It's a US Coast Guard report. It lists speed as the #4 reason for accidents!
