Personally, I'm not very fond of small speedboats, not because of their looks, but because of the idiots who tends to be at the helm.

In Norway you must have a boat certificate to drive a boat, regardless of size. Nany State!

Same in Denmark. Takes a week-end to get. Doesn't stop the idiots

It doesn't matter what the obstacles you or the government puts in, if an idiot wants to drive a boat, an idiot will find a way to drive a boat.

Yea! but in norway that idiot will get the polic with their 60-70 knots boat, coast guard and some time the navy (occasionally) after him, so that person has to be an idiot. So I agree with you, there are only two kinds of people at sea: idiot and ...

Only if he does so in the harbour.
There being no speed limits at sea, they can't arrest someone for going fast, only if they endanger other people.

yea i know. because I am the police out there!

5 knot speed limit when you're closer than 100 meters from shore, regardless of being in harbour or not.

And if you are not holding that speed i will come out with 12.7mm
