I want to point out that most of the home owners on the lake have multiple watercraft. We should not catagorize the boats for there speed and size, but in how they are operated. Most family cruisers will do 60 MPH and large cabin cruisers thow huge wakes. I have a few older boats including a GFBL that is fun for certain times on the lake. Lately I have been spending alot more time on the lake in my sailboat. It may be due to the gas prices or just the more relaxed feeling I get when sailing. In summary the most important part is the operators responsibility of any watercraft they operate. Maybe a limited visibility speed limit should be considered, but isn't that common sense and on the books anyway?
