Big developer wanted to ban housboats on Lake Wedowee so it would not impact sales of his houses/condos.  He got with state Senator Dial to work up a law for that lake.  The AL Power president at the time didnt like performance boats so he and Ben Russell latched onto the draft law and made modifications with AL Power's lobbying power.  Originally it was supposed to include all non-navagitable waterways in the state but there was significant pushback from other politicians in different areas and would not have been passed.  The revised draft of the law then removed all other lakes but Weiss, Wedowee, and Martin.  By removing all other lakes the other representatives and senators didnt have a problem because the lakes were not in their districts.  It was then passed.  

Someone please explain to me how only 3 lakes are affected in this state law?  It seems that if it were a saftey, noise, or wake issue then all non-navigable state waterways would be subject to it...  In my opinion, this law stinks to high heaven
