My friends who also like to swim and boat around the Lake have said the same thing.
I can understand why some people love the speed and sound of these powerful speed boats, but they have a time and place for them and Lake Winni is not one of them. The engines in these boats need to run at a certain RPM for a certain amount of time in order for them to stay healthy. That means if you use them on Lake Winni you will have to run them at a speed that makes it unsafe for other Lake users. GFB’s were designed to be used for racing on the high seas and not for Lakes that are used for recreational boating.
If GFB owners want to cruise around Lake Winni and enjoy what it has to offer then there is nothing wrong with that. But they should stay within the SL at all times so the rest of us folks can enjoy the Lake also.

Another good example of a constructive post Sam. The original question was why does one certain member come under "attack" from other members. It is because his posts look nothing like this.
Now on to my rebuttal of the POST not an attack on the POSTER. I think as I have said before that people are mistaking this years so called quiet and calm due to the law. It is unfortunate that we cannot truly assess the effect of the Speed Limit due to the unique nature of this years tourism season. I think that some of the SL Supporters have a false sense of what the lake was this year. For one although there was "less traffic" this year I saw plenty of idiotic behavior out there taking place. The Speed Limit has done nothing to promote safety and that is the concern of many of the opposers.
Sam, I am glad to see you are back posting. The more you and sunset distance yourselves from the other poster the better your messages are conveyed. I may disagree with your stance but you do a good job expressing your position. I will always rebutt your statements on all things Speed Limit but I'm sure we would agree on just about anything else with regard to the lake and how fortunate we all are to be able to use it.
