I think it is quite clear what side I am on. I feel that a bass boat is much more dangerous at speed than an "ocean racer" traveling 70mph, and more to themselves than others. The type of boat is not the danger, it is the driver. Your team of fiction writers should stop claiming it is the boats doing the harm and focus on the drivers. A 25' Baja can be driven just as safely as a 25' pontoon, and both could also be a deadly weapon if not handled correctly. Education and enforcement of existing laws is the key to success, instead of creating a useless bill that will not stop 28mph accidents at night from happening.
And for the record, a 25' Outlaw weighs nowhere even close to 4 tons. The new Outlaw 26 weighs 4800lbs, the older 25' slightly less.
