It's also VAGUE. A speed limit works for Lake George because the results can be quantified, and boaters know it. Officers only have to write a few tickets a year to keep a semblance of order.
When a Jet-Ski runs through "clot" of three family boats exiting a cove, all are technically violators. Who gets cited? Nobody.
Why collect MORE money for enforcement of a vague rule that has long outlasted its usefulness?

So lets dump the 150' rule and put in place the speed limit. Do you really think that it is more dangerous for a boat to pass by at 80mph at 150' out or 45mph at 30' out?
