silly question, definitely, but curious.
Does every boat on the lake have to display a number of that size ?

Yep. The speed limit argument isn't open for discussion any more so that's where it stands. (except it may be dropped from 10 knots to 10 mph due to a legislative cock-up).
The suicide boaters, when they aren't basking on the rocks, are doing stuff like this
I would have thrown in a quick tack, just for a bit of fun.
At the speeds concerned there is little risk anyway, just inconsiderate behaviour by a hire boat that certainly wouldn't know any better.
Tacking would completely remove the risk of collision as the yacht would head off at right angles (or more) to its current course & run parallel to MoBo course & in opposite direction & a short distance away from it.
Ah, behind the times. There are two fleets of these (£18,000) electric boats available for hire.That's not a real suicide boat.They are red and driven by Japanese Beatrix Potter fans.
