Default boats go fast

It seems to me that sometime in the 1940's the story goes that their was a varnish boat on the lake, that was kicked off cause it went too fast. It went 77 MPH. It had to get to a wide section of the lake to turn around at high speeds. I recall Officer Cates in Alton Bay, he would have a hard time he had a 14-16' starcraft with a 35 hp evinrude on it. try catching one of the boats on the lake today. But he knew where every boat lived in Alton Bay. Especailly mine!
