I think we've had this discussion before, but here we go again.

Name one activity, sport, or whatever that has fewer restrictions than boating. Skydiving, bungee jumping, motorcycle riding, flying a plane, driving a car, etc., etc. all have restrictions much more restrictive than boating. Buy a boat and a registration and you are instantly qualified to drive your boat at any speed, on any water, night, day, stromy, windy, under any conditions you desire.

Unfortunately, those freedoms have been abused to the point that now government has to force compliance with certain rules so that the few do not ruin the thrill of boating for the many. Just as your Corvette is restricted on the highway to conform to a reasonable speed, so will those with fast boats be restricted on the water. Speed limits work only where you have enough enforcement personnel to effectively patrol the waterways, which is not the case in Alabama; therefore, they restricted the use of a certain group of boats as a means of enforcement. As a group fast boat operators brought this on themselves.
