Could someone explain the reason for this law? I have a 21' deckboat and in no way am I in violation of the "banned boats law" but I was curious as to why large cruisers have been banned. I've been told it's due to the large wakes they have and shore erosion. That doesn't make any sense at all. If you want to control shore erosion ban the boats that are more likely causing the problem. Wakeboard boats are designed to throw large wakes. There are hundreds of them out there everyday in the summer months. With fuel prices as they are most of the big boats are not on plane anyway. Understand, I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm just curious as to why big cruisers and houseboats are now banned.
