Because there is milfoil even in New Hampshire lakes that have few boats trailered-in, your suggestion has merit
. However, you don't see as many "kids in their boats" around Lake Winnipesaukee these days.
Is it our Popular Culture/TV/Electronic Age—
or is it "Duck Itch"? 
Have those communities that cleared milfoil—successfully—noted any change in Duck Itch occurrence? (Or snail-browsed algae occurrence?)
'Trading one problem for another one—that is possibly harmful—and
definitely expensive?
