To each his own. There are ways to slow down trailerboaters who are towing

Nobody said they tow to fast for conditions. You state that 60-65 is the
max safe towing speed. Maybe for you. Under weight / sized towing vehicle,
etc.

I am curious how Harry would recommend we slow down trailerboaters who
Harry thinks are towing to fast for conditions.


That's why he has a low transom.

Laminar air flow off the stern.


So the laminar air flow comes off the back of the LT Boat, dips under
the too fast car/boat, and decreases traction, and results in him either
slowly down or spinning out.

I don't know why I didn't think of it.
