Seems your side is always arguing that all we need is the enforcement of the 150 rule. Glad to see you agree that the 150 rule is not doing the job and can never do the job. The people who want to go faster than 45 MPH are the minority. Why does your side argue that someone who wants to paddle across the broads is a nut? If the boat is capable of handling the waters then that person should be safe! Hard to be safe though when you have people going so fast that they cannot respond in time. So, sure I will stand with my comment of not liking the GFBL crowd.
The GFBL will ultimately lose. Who would have thought that 20 or 30 years ago you would have to go outside to smoke? Ultimately those that impose their dangerous behavior on the majority will lose out. It just takes time to get politicians to change the laws to respond to the times.
I do agree that the lake is too congested and something should be addressed but the first place to start is slow the boats down!

Your analogy that more laws and regulations will result in a better society is frightening.
Its people like you who believe big brother should intervene in every aspect of our lives that realy scare me.
You are right about fast boats being the minority ! And thats why it isnt realy a problem , the numbers of boats going fast on the lake are few !
However enough people have spoken against HB162 (speedboaters or not) because they see it as just another chance for big brother to limit there freedoms and an overreaction to a systemic problem, overcrowding.
And then you have your #1 proponent, owner of a boat yard with 300+ wet slips and many more in the racks.. Talk about hypocrisy !
