Just because a boat can go 130 mph doesn't necessarily mean it "went 130 mph". When you claimed I made that accusation you were linking things that are from two very different threads. How many camp directors have ever gone 130 mph?
I NEVER said 130 mph!

You've highlighted the problems.
Speed Erosion Wakes Noise
You've also commented after all of that, the it isn't speed, erosion, wakes or noise.
Gets pretty confusing Bear Islander, even to the casual reader.
As for enforcement. I've been told that the MP is part time. Perhaps they don't have enough funds to do the job properly, that's probably true. How is a speed limit going to change all of that? How would the speed limit cut down on lake accidents, when the vast majority occur under those speeds?
It seems to me that enforcement remains the number one issue, as proponents have pointed out many times. Adding another law will only lead to the very same people having to spend more time coming up with excuses as to why the new law is not working. My guess is the answer, will still be enforcement.
If the State cannot provide the funds to enforce the existing laws, then the beef is with that, not anything else. This is like telling banks to remove their money from the building, and then they wouldn't be robbed so much.
