Carnac:

You stated "Mav, I don't like where they have drawn the line identifying boat length and power to be banned. That was bill sausage. "

So you would somewhat agree, certain class of boaters may have been stereotyped by the present boating bill, is this an accurate statement based on your post?

I agree with you, the bass tournaments are important to the economy and I actually enjoy watching these boats zip up and down the lake on tournament weekend. However, how can you allow a bass boat, even in not in a tournament, that will go 80+ mphs that is say 22' long, then ban other boats sub 27' 11" that will also run 80+ mph's? Just looking for your thought, is this really fair?

By any chance did you read the part of the editorial regarding the number of larger boats being restricted on AL lakes based on sometype of formula based on a lakes overall acerage? Your thoughts on such a formula being enacted in a future law?

With regards to wake and erosion, I probably agree with your comment "there is more damage to the shorelines and property from a single severe thunderstorm ...." So my question is, then why the ban on boats over 30' 6" why not something like 40' or something based on current wet slip sizes on Lake Martin in order to suport our marinas. Do not get me wrong the last thing I want on Lake Martin is 55' + boat or a 100' Houseboats, etc. Your thoughts on this matter?

Carnac - Thanks for your previous post, just trying to hone in on your thoughts on these matters.
