We were 5th to leave in this particular tournament and passed the first boat in less than 2-3min. I looked over his shoulder because I knew how fast the lead boat was and we were hitting about 93mph. I figured we wouldn’t even know what happened if we hit something, lol. To be honest it was one of the smoothest rides I’d ever been on.

IMHO, we don't need more laws, just common sense. Men have been trying to go faster on water since they started riding in boats. Sometimes you feel the need, the need for speed!

There is a massive stump field that has claimed several sparkle boats as well as a bunch of injuries. Every year usually a couple end up hospitalized. Across the river are an assortment of wing dams as well. If you lose respect for her don't be surprised when you are added to the number game.

It's a common sense issue. Adjusting to condions on the water is part of boating and I hope the victims families are well compensated. If speed limits are put in place I'll probably be getting rid of the 300. Don't know if a 150 will get me up on pad.

The same could said of many " competition sports" but bass tournaments in particular combine a few notable risk factors such as speed, weather and public use on an already risky playing field. As said, allow the tournaments a grace period to change how they operate to eliminate said risks or they go away.
