This is a poor question. The more horsepower I have, the quicker I can stop with a backing bell and the more wash I can get over my prop -- thus more maneuverable. All of these can impact safe speed assessment in my opinion.

Although true about the horsepower. Rule 6 lays out the 5 determining factors that need to be followed by all vessels and an additional six if your vessel has an operational radar.

Im not going to count this towards my overall score, due to it being 100% trash.
