Here is the scoop folks, the lake is a popular destination, and creates significant revenue for the state and local governments.... so they have no incentive to put regulations in place that would jeopardize that income.

Putting size, HP, and even speed regulations in place, does just that jeopardizes the revenue stream....... Notice the speed regulations were calculated to affect as few boaters as possible.....

The size of boats has increased dramaticly as MFG process have improved and as the amount of money people are willing to spend has increased.

When most of use where going up boats didn't have a lot of features, and often time sold at prices that allowed people to pay cash for them..... Slowly people started to take short term loans out, and then finally we got to the point where people take loans out for 10-15 years even on used boats..... with more money, came more features, with more features came bigger sizes.....on and on we go.....

With all that said..... now we have 25-30 ft boats being the norm... and yes it has made the lake rougher...... and it isn't going to change....

The solution is simple, find a way to boat during the week if the weekend traffic has become to much.....
