Effectively, what will happen is all of us running on these landlocked, inland protected lakes will be held to a higher standard than all the other boats in New York state that are operating on the ocean and the canal system and everything controlled by the Coast Guard. So it doesn't really make sense that the people on the most protected waters will have the toughest standards.
