It is my hope that the people who will vote on this legislation may read the comments on this website, and realize that wakes are not the only problem created by these boats. This is just an additional negative aspect.
Maybe it will prompt them to vote the right way. With any luck, maybe they will add language further restricting the use of wakeboats on the lakes.

One problem is, boat owners from all over the whole state get their vote/voice counted just as much as the fraction of folks that actually live on the lakes.
And we know how loud many (I didn't say all) WakeSurfers like to be
And to their credit they are very organized.
And I'm sure most of the small vessel owners (off lake) don't even know it's happening because they don't have such a large investment.
It will be a miracle if it goes through.
