I won't get into the boat ban issue - not really my bag - but I seriously doubt that boats could have a material effect on real estate prices.

Who knows - maybe these shadowy "developers" are incorrect on their assumption - I can't begin to guess the intent of an alleged conspiracy, if such one exisits. I am not commenting on that.

All I am saying is, in the case of Lake Martin, I would find it extremely mathmatically improbable that enough "big boats" could be purchased to have a measurable effect on real estate pricing. If every deep water boat slip on this lake was filled by a big boat, you would have only a mere fraction of the total real estate owners, buyers, and sellers.

Again, I am not wanting to enter into this debate. Just making a purely academic comment on the math of it all.
