I hate to chime in again on this as I don't own a boat, but I do view a speed limit as a limit on personal freedoms (like helmet and seatbelt laws).
Having said that, I think if we want a poll that really means something, why not a poll of users on this site who know someone who was involved in an boating accident that was caused by either:
a. excessive speed by a sober operator
b. lack of skills/training in boat operation by a sober operator
c. alcohol
And compare the results of these 3 issues.
