Bear with me, but why do some feel the GFBL boats will vanish if HB162 passes?????
And with a speed limit, that boat able to go 90 may be in the Atlantic Ocean, where it should be.[/QUOTE]
I am trying to understand but please help me. I have only had positive experiences on the lake.
"where it should be"
Who is to determine where any type of boat should be. Some state rep? The majority? Old man Wilson? Winni is a Big Lake and the arguement could be made that small boats belong on small lakes and if you want your kids to learn how to sail a small boat they should go to one of the many other lakes within our state. Heck many such lakes have had powerboats baned all together so they will be extremely quiet and there no worry regarding boat speed.
Where should the 40' live aboard cabin cruiser be?
Where should the small 18' bass boat be?
Where should the competition ski boat be?
Where should the pontoon boat be?
Where should the 14' scout be?
What about all of the small boats in the Atlantic....By this type of logic they should not be allowed anywhere but the lake. Although I do not agree it may make more sense when you concider how many small boat accidents occur off the coast and in the rivers.
I grew up on a small lake and now boat on Winni. I wanted a bigger type boat so I moved to the big lake. Don't spin this agound. You do not need to have a big boat to be on Winni. I still have small boats too. In fact I summer on an island and run back and forth to the mainland all weekend long on a pontoon boat or small center console. I can not understand anyone who says they can't do that becauyse of the conjestion or GFBL boats.
Boats are made for water and it is the owners who decide where to use them. No manufacture puts a decal on there boat that says use in the ocean or use in lakes.
Speed limit or no speed limit my GFBL will remain on the lake and see the same usage. If gas prices didn't keep my boat at the dock a speed limit won't.
