Has the rule banning cigarette boats from Lake Martin changed? I’ve seen three this weekend.

How big? Probably not over 30

And they are probably grandfathered.  The ban doesn't apply to them.

In a nutshell, the law prohibits the following on Lake Martin:

1. Any vessel longer than 30’6”.

2. Any houseboat.

3. Any vessel longer than 26’11” that is capable of exceeding 60 m.p.h.

Category 1 and 2 were “grandfathered” around 2006.

This pretty much prohibited cigarette boats by definition as they go faster than 60mph and are generally over 27 feet. A cigarette boat or speedboat 26 ft 11 in with any size engine or engines is legal by definition.
