I hear ya LovenLakeLiven! We here on Lake Martin are now already strapped by this ridiculous ruling. I hope Lake Jordan will be spared the "me too". A group sued the constitionality of the bill but was recently denied. They have said that they will try again.

Years ago San Juan County in Washington outright banned PWC and it was later overturned. With the increasing sales of PWC's and increasing accidents AND with that the increasing noise they had become over run with them. However, it was determined that they have the right to impose restrictions (ie speed limits, no access areas etc) but not completely ban a class of vessel. We will see......

My two cents on the boat ban besides that I don't like it...I find it humorous that people have determined how Lake Martin should be used and by whom including Alabama Power when they both supported and pledged whatever money necessary to defend the boat ban. Yet, last year when the young 16 year old boy from Ohio jumped off Chimney Rock and died many people wanted to fence off the area which Alabama Power Company owns. Alabama Power Co. stated that "Reservoirs are public waterways, open to the public for recreation, and that people are responsible for their own actions." Lake Martin is an Alabama Public Waterway enforced by Alabama State Marine Police paid by State money. I don't know....
