I don't doubt that one bit. I also don't doubt that that are small enough 10hp could get you anywhere on the lake in a matter of minutes and a large high horse power boat could barely get to top speed before having to slow , stop or turn because they're running out of water , but don't mention that. I live in a town with a lake limited to electric trolling motors. It's all of about 5 acres.
I see exactly what you mean with the MTBE. May I suggest changing to bottled water for drinking. You know what fish do in the water
