Question 2 of 10Regulations on speed limits on water are the same wherever you are in United States.
Congratulations, good answer!
FALSE. Most specific speed regulations are local ordinances or state laws.

For example, some state regulations require that you maintain a no-wake speed when within 250 feet of shore or when within 100 feet of another vessel. Be sure to check with state and local authorities to determine what regulations apply to you.
