The biggest worry on actual tourney days is being anywhere near the starting or ending boat drag-race.
A few years ago, the big bass tournaments changed the HP rules for boat motors. Before, they had a limit on HP. As I read it, on the big lakes, a bigger motor could get a fisherman to the far end of the lake 10 min faster. That's 10 min out and 10 min back so that's 20 min for the day. During a 3 day tournament, 20 min a day is an hour more fishing time when you could catch the big one. That's also going to put a lot of much faster boats in that drag race.
