Here you go.


Chapter 30. Navigable waters, harbors and navigation. 30.62 Other equipment. :: 2011 Wisconsin Code :: Wisconsin Code :: US Codes and Statutes :: US Law :: Justia

Wisconsin Code Chapter 30. Navigable waters, harbors and navigation. 30.62 Other equipment.

30.62(2m)
(2m) Overpowering. No person may sell, equip or operate, and no owner of a boat may allow a person to operate, a boat with any motor or other propulsion machinery beyond its safe power capacity rating, taking into consideration the type and construction of such watercraft and other existing operating conditions.


And here it is in printed form, from the regulations book they give you when you register your boat.
See the lower left hand paragraph.
It clearly says "overpowering is illegal."
It also references the capacity plate.

Where is my prize ? :)

OK. You move to the head of the class.:cheer2:

Now, let's see if you can find a regulation that states traveling beyond the speed limit on local highways is Illegal. :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

Got the whole cheer-leading squad rootin' for ya.LOL

Just to be clear, I didn't challenge anyone to find local regs.. Just having a little fun here. Oh, and don't be lookin' at the cheerleader on the right - she's spoken for.

That's all well and good in WI.
