It's interesting to note that most references to speed (speeding boats) seem to imply that the only vessels that are capable of speeds equal to or in excess of the 45mph speed limit are just a small percentage of (read - cigarette style) boats.
That where the abbreviation "gfbl" came from I suppose. I never even heard of that abbreviation before HB162.

Funny thing is, a bass boat with a 200 hp+ motor will go almost 80+ mph. There are plenty of those out there. Many PWC's go 60+. How about an 80 mph sport cruiser. Many formulas like that.

Further proof that HB162 is a "cleansing" program.
The more I read the more I tend to believe this statement. I honestly come from a unbiased opinion. At the beginning of all this I was actually in favor of HB162 seeing my boat only goes 55 or so max ,and I do have young children.

Now I feel nothing but this as being a waste of time and money. HB162 IMO, has nothing to do with safety and will not make the lake any safer.
