I do not agree, but untill some kind of study by a non bias firm can conclude that a speed over 25 at night is responsable for accidents or 45 daytimefor that matter. Weekend or not it is not the right thing to do.
For the economic side, I do not see the impact from tourist to be of significance either way. I myself will most likely not be boating to dinner any more, the long ride and the wake disturbance might not be worth it. Not to mention the feul economy for traveling at 25 would be horrible.
As far as the Loons are considered, I have not seen any thing that convinces me that fast boats are killing young ones. This is because I never seen them out in the open in the day where I was traveling above 45mph. In the coves I have seen them plenty of times idling around. And yes I can see them from at a good distance at above 45. I instantly change course to avoid comming near loons or any object in the water.
