Why is that such a problem??? Rafting limits the number of boats that can be tied to togeather to just 2 and they have to be at least 50 feet away from another boat. To put that in a "Landowner's scenerio" it would be like you having a get togeather with 4 or five other couples to have a few drinks, cook a little, do some swimming etc. but all of the other couples had to stay at least 50 feet away from you and one of your friends unless they "swam" over to your beach to vist. They of course would have to swim back to their designated spot 50 feet from you to go get more food or drinks but they could always "swim" back to vist later.
In my opinion I would think that one large raft of boats (say 10) in one spot would be less invasive of your "view of the lake" than 5 groups of 2 boats each spread throughout your cove each 50 feet from the other.
