If, indeed HB 162 passes and is signed into law the GF boaters will suffer.
The boats that they love and have paid thousands of dollars for will drop in value greatly. If they choose to continue to operate their boats as they were intended they must leave the Lake. OUR Lake. Driven off.
If they decide to stay on the Lake and keep it under 45, a thrilling pastime of theirs will be gone.
If they sell their GF boats to people in other States and stay on the Lake they will lose a bundle in the sale and have to find new boats to buy.
If HB 162 passes they will lose money, their favorite pastime, or be driven off of the Lake. Weather the speed bill is a good thing or a bad thing they will be hurt.
Lord knows that I like a joke but I would find no glee in their loss and to make fun of it is not consistant with the fellowship of this group.
Just my thoughts.

Thank you for your thoughts. While I do not think that the value of the boats will drop, the enjoyment will some what. I do like to go fast, when it is safe. I hope that the bill does not pass but if it does I will abide by the new rules. I have zero issue with the night time speed limit I actually think that is a very smart law. I never drive at speed after dark anyhow.
