I for one will not allow the speed limit effect any boat purchase I make, if I like (and I do) the GFBL type boats I will still by one. I will just have to make sure I obey any speed law that my come about. And for all that matters my current boat which isn't even a GFBL, will still break the speed limits they are suggesting.

I do somewhat agree with Rob on this one. After speaking with a few marinas on the lake they are already tailoring their inventory for next season just in case it does fly. Shep Brown's for instance has basically dropped the Sunsation line of boats (GFBL). It's a shame, they are beautiful, well crafted boats but they definitely feel the demand for these will decrease sharply if this passes. I am sure that this would have a negative effect on Silver Sands and Channel, although Silver Sands in general does enough business in other brands that they will be fine.
I am noticing a lot less larger used GFBL's on the market on the lake this year as opposed to last. I was shopping hard last fall and became well aquainted with the inventory for sale on the lake, this year there is not much of anything used over 30' long in performance boats. I guess I shouldda bought the Summa Humma when I had the chance...
