Island Lover, If you think someone is going to pay over $100k for a custom hydroplane to go 45 mph or less, you are not thinking straight. The point is the Lake George speed limit is a joke, there have been posts on this forum from people who have boated on Lake George who confirm boaters are exceeding the speed limit on Lake George regularly without consequences.

The reason someone would buy a boat like that on a lake with a speed limit is because the speed limit is not being strictly enforced. THINK ABOUT IT. You heard it hear first. If Winni does end up with a speed limit the high performance boats will not leave and there will be plenty of boats exceeding the speed limit because the marine is underfunded and understaffed.

The speed limit supporters are in for a rude awakening if it passes. They don't really think their paradise is going to suddenly appear like turning on a light switch. Nothing much will change.
