I wouldn't be looking forward to tradie utes with 3 tonne of tools in the back and the handling of a boat, doing 130 or more on the freeway

Driven any major highway lately? I feel that's already the norm...

90 or 100km/h limit on towed boats. I think the limit is 90 (at least in south Australia). This way they won't be handling dangerously, can be imposed with truck speed limits.
