After being neutral on this issue for a while I have finally come to a decision. First, there are some people on this forum who shall remain nameless that have a very bad attitude problem. That of which contributes to their support of this bill. Secondly, I think that the issue of size is rational but not logical. It does not matter where you are on the lake if you pass another vessel you will experience some type of a bump over their wake. Boats make wakes .... It's just what they do. As previously stated the laws of physics will tell you that the more boats the more wakes. So in open water it does not neccesarily matter how big the boats are if it is crowded, there will be large waves. I have been on a 18'-20' boat Many times on the lake in the summer and during July 4th weekend and the water was far from intolerable. Third I do not know how many of the readers of this forum look at things but I will tell you that right now I see the lake as half full not half empty (if you know what I mean). Obviously I am in opposition to the bill because I think that it is assenine for legislature to pass regaurding the size and horsepower of boats on the lake. It is the same thing as saying that fully sized trucks and SUV's are not allowed on the road anymore because they take up too much room.
