Sadly we have some who abuse such. We have a new neighbor with a ton of money. He went out and purchased one of the largest available inflatable rafts with a high slide. This thing is a monster I mean huge. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Granted, the neighbor is a nice guy and offered all along shore to use it. But it is truly an eyesore. AND he has no children that use it And he does not use it himself. So what was the point?
I am against all government regulations for such. But how does one stop some person from doing such?
And onto another point mentioned. How far out is one allowed to place a raft? I have seen some way way out there and the only reason I can think of is to prevent boaters from coming too close to his waterfront home. Not used as a raft as such but boat traffic control.
And I know of one waterfront homeowner who "obtained" a red lake marker and somehow it ened up out front - way out - in front of his lake front home. There are no rocks or shallow areas where this marker was placed.
What is the answer to all of this?
