Just because you can hear a boat at 2 am doesnt mean its illegal. Just because you can hear a boat at 2 am doesn't mean its a "go fast" boat. It could be argued that a small skiff with an older outboard on it going by someones property would cause a longer disturbance of the silence then a faster boat which comes and goes in a minute or two.
Having said that. What would you have someone do that's going home either late night or early morning on the lake? They have to use their engine to get them there.
To the person who wanted to compare a parade in NY to the Lake. I feel thats a poor comparison. Compare apples to apples. A 1 day parade or event is no way similar to something that goes on everyday. Better examples have been brought up..... living adjacent to a railroad or to a highway where there pretty much is a constant or at least predictable flow of traffic and noise. It can be argued that if you live on a lake on any given night a boat may go by your property and it may disturb your sleep for a moment. You need to take that into account before decideing to move to lakefront property and not complain about it after the fact.
