You answered your own question! No set number, just depends on those kinds of factors. Quiet day midweek, no traffic, let it rip! Typical busy weekend, back it down a bit until you can find a good stretch of open water. Holiday weekend, don't bother launching... just kidding, but you get the point. What bothers me more are the super high speed passes up at Sandbar or other congested spots on the river. Here comes a 4000++ lb missile hurling along at way over 100 mph, not more than 100' from shore and sh!tloads of people. Yeah it's fun to watch but a failure or poor decision in traffic at that moment could be devastating. I know I've pulled my share of questionable moves like that (well not the over 100 part... :cry: ) and thought later how lucky I was. Guess I'm getting old...
