Thank you for the note, I can understand the flames, but I was not trying to start anything......I grew up on the lake and spend at least 2 to 3 weeks there every summer, spring or fall. It just seems that the watercraft are getting larger and larger, I know a lot of it comes with the richer and richer people that are visiting the lake and buying, or should I say, tearing down and building homes on the lake. I can remember the first time I saw a big off shore racer on the lake, it was an awesome sight. Before that it seemed to be mostly small runabouts and the occaisonal cabin cruiser. The first big, fast boat I saw on the lake when I was about 8 years old was called "hells bannana" it had triple outboards on it and was very exciting......I love boats and boating as much as the next guy and my passion for the lake is, in my opinion, unmatched by many, and I do not use the forum to bash. I am glad you responded and now we have gotten to understand each other better I look forward to another friend to share my experiences and questions with........Happy Holidays to you and yours and do me a favor........Try to stay warm.....Glenn
