This bill has turned everybody into a bunch of idiots. The fact is not one of you own the lake more than another person. Sure, you might have paid a heck of a lot of money to have a nice house purched up on the hill, but you don't own the lake. You own your land, or maybe you rent it, whatever it may be. The fact is no single person owns the lake. It is there for all of us to enjoy. We enjoy it in a variety of different ways. I have a family and I like to use the lake so that I can spend time with my husband, and children. We have owned multiple boats, from a pontoon, to a smaller ski boat to now a nice size boat that can ultimately be impacted by this bill. We did not buy this boat to show off, or to act like idiots or whatever some of you think we do just because we have a larger boat. We purchased it so we would have room as a family. We can't afford a house on the lake, but the boat and our slip provide the perfect family get away for us. So does that make us irresponsible, as some of you like to say? To me, it means that I care about spending quality time with my family and building a foundation of memories to last my kids a lifetime. I think irresponsibleness is not giving them anything to do and expecting the TV to raise them instead. My husband and I love the lake, we have enjoyed it in all of our previous boats, as we do this one. Sure the larger one is nicer, only because we can have conveniences such as a restroom for the kids, a place for them to sleep and air conditioning when we are spending the night on the slip. The size of the boat has not mattered to us. Instead it is the memories of the good times we have had. So don't make big boat owners out to be evil people, especially if you don't know them.
