RADAR has a limited distance, as Woodsy has pointed out. A boat going 130mph would have to go directly AT a MARKED Marine Patrol boat to a close distance before turning. Ya Right!

So are you surprised when reported speeds were low? The study was DESIGNED to fail. If you didn't think it favored your position you would agree.
I'm not surprised that the reported speeds are low. Especially when you consider the boats that can go 130 mph probably cost $500,000. Not many of those around, never mind on the lake. That's the problem when you exaggerate, it's so easy to point out how ludicrous your views are.

Islander, you are so far out in left field it's not even funny. If I follow your logic, then a speed limit cannot be enforced. That's just what we need, a law that can't be enforced. Fits right in with the rest of your logic, or lack thereof.
