No, I am not trying to use the last three months as a comparison. I will say this. Before the purchase of our current boat. We have had two others that we used quite frequently on Lake Martin. The first a pontoon and the last a ski boat. Now with that being said, We used both of our previous boats every chance we could put them in the water. Not the same with the current one. We are comfortable at the doc enjoying the lake from our slip, where before we trailered the previous two and did not have a place on the lake to place them on, and it made no sense to since it fit on a trailer. I am not a new comer to the lake I have been enjoying it for years and base my analysis on the boat traffic that I have seen over this time frame, not the last three months. The only reason I even mentioned the last three months is because it is stuck in my head. True, I am sure that as the weather warms we will see more and more traffic. Do I feel that we will venture out more, maybe for short trips. The basic jist behind my entry earlier was that I was asking not to be included as a whole. That was the point behind me saying that it sounds like the writer was being prejudice against all big boat owners. The point is that we ALL love boating on LM, and I have lots of great memories of my time on the lake and I hope to have the opportunity to make many more with my family. I truly hate how this bill has divided so many when in fact we all share the same love and admiration for the lake. I will agree that there are individuals that frequent the lake that are not responsible, do I feel that it is just a certain kind of boat owner, no not really. Heck, I will even go as far as agree with the above post that bigger boats could possibly cause more damage to a dock (law of physics), however, that doesn't mean that certain boat owners are less or more responsible than others. It comes down to the individual.
