chipj29 and Uncle Fun - You can have any kind of boat you want AT THIS TIME. That will change when horsepower limits are signed into law. Then you will be required to obey the law like everyone else.

ISLANDER: Apparently this is your SOAPBOX and Platform... Too bad it falls on a lot of deaf ears... Maybe you should run for State Rep. - get elected (not likely) - and then introduce some legislation which would only get voted down anyway... I NEVER said that I was denying you your opinons - but have some substance to back up your MISCONCEPTIONS about size, horsepower, etc...
By the way... Do you know something that the rest of us don't about horsepower limits??? There will NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER be horsepower restrictions... If a speed limit is not going to fly, than what makes you think horsepower limits are the answer??? How much horsepower does the Mt. Washington have??? Where do you think this regulation is going to come from??? Do you think the boat manufacturers will not build or sell boats with the largest horsepower allowed by the USCG and the NMMA (U.S. Coast Guard and National Marine Manufacturers Association)... Do you think the boat dealers will not sell any horsepower that a buyer wants to purchase??? Do you think the Marine Patrol will pull over a boat and ask to look 'under the hood' so-to-speak to check out how much horsepower a boat has... MOST engines do not even have any indication of how much horsepower they have -only the displacement typically... Horsepower has NO RELATION to wake size and practically no bearing on overall speed - because the bigger a boat is the more horsepower it needs to push it along - although it doesn't necessarily mean it will go faster!
You can have your opinions... I am not denying you that... Just try to make them not so extreme and more along the main stream... It's those extremist views coupled with proposed restrictions that are trying to make the lake user un-friendly - Fortunately, it will never work!!! Remember... Live, Free, or Die is not - Live, Free, or Die, except as outlined by the following restrictions...
