I'm sorry you fell that way. I am not talking about you or any of the other responsible boaters on Winni. Unfortunately there is no way practical way to control the irresponsible boater except things like speed limits or horsepower limits.
Plus I do believe that in the long run we must lower the environmental impact of boating on the lake. I fell the only practical way to do that is a horsepower limit. I think these limits will come one day, probably not soon, but they will come. I hope there is a way to lessen the impact they will have on the responsible boaters that are already here.
