“High school tourneys should be in jon boats with 10hp limit. This would simultaneously increase safety, and decrease barrier to entry. I've fished local tourneys with nothing but a trolling motor.”

None of the high schoolers are operating anything other than the trolling motor. I’ve captained many high school tournaments and practice days. In order to put your focus on these tournaments, you’d have to look at who’s actually running the boats. Not that you shouldn’t but it’s not the kids.

I didn't say who was running the boat. There's plenty of irresponsible adults, or those who simply aren't well experienced in boating. It's not about allowing the kids to drive, it's about safety and accessibility across the board.
