I think beautiful fast boats are really cool (believe it or not) and they can be used on this very large lake but with some common sense self control that considers fellow boaters and residents on the lake.

1. The noise is really a problem. Especially in the narrow parts of the lake.This can be handled like CAT did with complying with the muffler regs. That's reasonable.

2. The speed can be a problem (just like bass boats that do 70+MPH). That's the responsiblilty of the operator. These boats are really designed for running over to the Bahamas for fun, sun & fish. So common sense and a little restraint will go a long way.

3. Smart guys that operate these boats are careful about safety. They know how quickly bad things can happen at high speeds.
We can co-exist if we all do our part in self policing too. I've seen plenty of idiots in runabouts endangering lives. The MP's can't make a perfect world. Maybe a "Powerboat Club" could promote safety and good relations.

The conversation is starting to get productive :-)
