If you want to captain a vessel, you should be ready to accept responsibility for all aspects of the operation of said vessel. Short of that, keep your boat tied up to the dock. That will help make the lake safer for the rest of us.

Aye, Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods...we're talkin' 'bout up around 40 knots or so- or maybe 22 in the wee hours. You certainly know if you're approachin' the max legal speed- 'specially if there's a small 3-4 foot chop on the lake. If you have the urge to go max legal speed and not a prudent one- then get yerself a good working speedo or one o' them new GPS things. Any keep yer eyes open an' not on tha' damn electronics stuff!
