If someone has spent $20-50,000.00 or more on a speed boat, and maybe is paying off a boat loan, then they do not want to have its' speed restricted by a 45-25 speed limit.

It would be interesting to learn what each poster has for a boat and how much it cost. Speed is a matter of scale. A smaller boat gives you a feelng of being closer to the water, gets up on plane at slower speeds, and doesn't require such fast speeds for a speed rush. It's all about scale, just think about the difference between a $4500. 18' aluminum outboard boat and a $45000. 32' inboard fiberglass boat. Is it really necessary to have and use these huge and powerfull boats to enjoy boating?
