Let's talke it activity by activity.

Off roaders --Notice that all the activities are in parks designed especially for that use--away from the general public. Bet you don't see off roaders running up and down the right of way of an interstate highway--because it's too dangerous for the general public. Same, same fast boats. You answered your own example of freedom when you stated that parks are designed for these activities--Alabama is also providing water parks for fast boats--they just removed Martin, Weiss, and Wedowee from the list.

Marksmen are told whether they can carry certain firearms, when they are allowed to shoot them, and at what. Most cities have laws against the discharge of firearms in the city limits.

Bass boats have very small wakes on plane. I would not own one that goes too fast, but at least they tend to stay clear of the lake on busy weekends when the wakes are 2-3 ft high.

I agree with speed limits in a perfect world. What might work is to have 4 full time M. Police and have TEN boats manned on weekends by part time officers. The fast boat guys want speed limits because they think they can avoid the 4 officers now, and have their fun, which they probably can get away with.

Couldn't agree more with your last paragraph.
