Coming home from work yesterday I observed what is supposedly an identically designed boat on the Charles River in Boston. On flat water, the bow is maybe 2 feet from the water. I know nothing about maritime design but as a recreational boater I can tell these things aren’t safe. At the same time, I’m seeing local officials and news outlets in Boston saying that it’s different here, for some reason.

  Pretty much. Anyone who thinks these will be banned relatively casually is... misguided. Boston's not exactly the anti-regulation capital of the universe but there would be a huge backlash against any attempt to ban this incredibly popular tourist attraction.
