There is a new boat on Winni that will go 130 MPH. So you think operating it at 130 is not more dangerous than operating it at 65?
What about the two boats that have flipped at high speed on Winni in the last few years? Do these accidents not count because nobody was killed?
Boats are more likely to flip at high speed
Occupants of a flipped boat are more likely to be killed at a higher speed
Reaction time is less a a higher speed
Some things are just common sense. However "there are none so blind as those that will not see".
