Speed limit for Model Boats...

I have a really simple idea for the boat speed limit issue: A boat may travel as fast as it is long, ie., a 22 foot boat may travel 22 mph, etc. This would effectively cap the Lake speed at under 50 mph, and the big boats would pay the big bucks to operate considering they use more fuel. The little guys would enjoy the benefit of a quieter Lake and the reduced fuel costs because they don't go that fast. This is WAY TO SIMPLE to be effective, but it might work. This would apply only to powerized vessels. One word of caution: Look out, here comes the Mount.
