Sounds like a law that's not quite focused.


Sounds like an HOA on the horizon that want to make sure that nobody
is out of step.....



Well, they need to separate the rules by safety and "other". There are lakes
around here that are full of modest little cottages, owned by people who
aren't rich at all. They've established speed limits that are viciously
enforced because the lakes are crowded. There's nothing wrong with that. I
*never* see cigarette-type boats on those lakes, I suppose because there's
no point in owning one if the speed limit's 30 mph.

As far as what's ugly...that's another issue.
