I don't buy that performance boats are more of a threat to shoreline erosion, and birds nests.
Your posts have been very well presented Parrothead. Clear and logical information and opinion. You are explaination of wakes was excellent. I don't care much for loud noise either but Concord has laws about how loud your neighbors pipes and boat can be.

I am sure Bear Islander or his crony Islander will find someway to try and discredit your last message. Just as easily as BI did in the Lt. Dunleavy thread when they tossed out your post # 438 (click the post # for the entire post)

Just because you were there working at the camps on Bear Island BI knows better than you do. Just ask him.


Thank you Parrothead
