My post was a reply only to what Von Bongo wrote

"Maybe larger bodies of water need to be reserved for larger or faster boats and smaller lakes for smaller boats. I know numerous smaller lakes here in NE that limit HP or even require electric motors, but it isn't the larger lakes."
I was just pointing out that there really are other large lakes that do have regulations on hp and/or speed. I do understand that every lake is unique, which is why there are different regulations for different lakes.

I do find it interesting that the two largest lakes in MA have very strick regulations on their use (for whatever reason), yet some of the people who make the most noise against any additional regulations on Winni are from that same state.
