Kas1: OFF TOPIC Oops! Intracoastal, of course. Your pet pieve is noted. I too like fast boats, however, in an area where there are more than 140,000 registered boats, and from personal experience, I would argue that some designated place like a marked waterway track be established for these boats to run at their faster speeds. Otherwise, I would vote for limiting their speed to 25-30 mph where allowed on the INTRACOASTAL. In the open ocean two or three miles out or farther, they could go as fast as they want. After you have had a 60 foot cigarette boat overtake you from behind and pass within 4-5 feet of your port side at a speed over 70 mph, and knowing how easy it is to be thrown great distances to one side or the other if you hit a wave incorrectly, you might share my concern about greater restrictions on these boats. The guy who ran over the 31 foot cabin cruiser killing 6 people, is still in jail and his bond was set at 1 milliion dollars. My personal opinion is that he can stay there for a very long period of time. Clinton
