I have read several threads on the boating size debate. I agree that the operator has the ability to eliminate the frustration through responsible driving. The problem is that responsible drivers are becoming the exception as opposed to the rule. Enforcing the responsible behavior is in itself problematic. We have immigration laws, so what, we cannot enforce them at the border. Ideally, you would like to say that 18 year olds should be able to drink legally. They can go off to war. But the reality is that most 18-20 year olds were irrresponsible, so they raised the age to 21. The same principal may end up applying to large vessel operators. The negative impact on the general population can be disproportionately negative. Even responsible drivers create negative residuals to the masses because of the sheer size of the vessel. Houseboats I can see, but these large cigarette boats and cruisers were built for the ocean. People expect waves there. The lake is supposed to be a peaceful and serene enviroment not a motocross track and a wave pool for those who enjoy steriods. Join the pontoon crowd and take a chill. Speed Kills.
