Woodsy presented a pretty good argument here. Essentially, I am paraphrasing here, if a speed limit is passed and it "chases those GFBL" boats off the lake then we are losing the roughly best 5% of the individual boat drivers. It's called addition by subtraction. That leaves more captain boneheads by percentage. I know that it is loose math but Bear Islander wants to SPIN this into a positive by saying it won't INCREASE Captain Boneheads. Well, technically you are wrong. The percentage of Boneheads increases.
Not only that you will get what you want Bear Islander (with a vengance) It will remove Winni's "SCARY" stature and I am SURE it will increase the temptation for "Captain 16 foot trailer my boat for the day to Winni because it's safe now." Just what we want right.

That was my turn at SPIN in case you don't know. Ya see Bear Islander we can do it too!!!!!!
