What factors should determine a safe speed for your boat?

  1. Boat color and design

  2. Visibility conditions, water conditions, and traffic density

  3. Music volume on the boat

  4. Time of day

The correct answer is: Visibility conditions, water conditions, and traffic density

A boat's color and design has no correlation with determining a safe speed. The color and design may not affect the boat's performance or handling, which are more important factors in determining speed. Music volume, while it may affect the driver's ability to concentrate, is not a reliable factor in determining a safe speed. The time of day is also not directly related to determining a safe speed. However, it may influence visibility conditions such as lighting, which is one of the factors listed in the correct answer.
