One of the biggest reasons is environmental. The larger boats have larger poo-poo tanks and the fear is that they will dump there tanks in the lake rather than having them pumped out. Not a very valid reason since there are numerous septic tanks already leaching into the lake, but I guys this will prevent the problem from getting bigger. Also there are bunch of wusses that don't like fast boats. This arguement is flawed too. It is analogous to guns. People kill people, guns don't kill people. There are plenty of morons out there that put along at 20 mph and are a danger too others. A boat can be operated at high speeds in a safe manner.
