Speed was an issue in that accident. The GFBL boat was going more than the 25 mph proposed speed limit. This issue was minor because there was no speed limit so no violation and no fault to the driver.

But more importantly you are missing the point that the GFBL boat would not have been on the lake at all if there was a speed limit. People don't dock their 150k$ 90 mph boat on a lake with a 45 mph limit.
I quess I should have underlined " UNLESS" in my previous reply, and for that I apologize. If a 36ft. Baja was at 25mph the bow would be higher and would obstruct the view for the operator, creating a more dangerous situation. On plane the slower a boat travels the larger the wake.

Education is the key.
