Hi GTO, I think you nailed it and your sentiments about excessive (fill in the blank- speed, exhaust noise, stereo noise) are right on. Regardless of rules and laws, one or two boneheads can and will ruin it for the rest of us.
We need to be realistic, there are only a few folks here that want to see the lake as it was in 1700 (well I would love to see it, but only for a day). I like my powerboat, but I also feel that I am considerate in the use of it, including the volume control on the stereo.
Enjoy the day on the lake if you can, it looks like some rain will be moving through.
