As the traffic on the lake increases the size of the boat needs to increase as well. That is a sad scenario as boating should be fun for all. I used to go to the weirs in an 11' boat and never had to think about it. I have since taken a pontoon boat to the weirs at night and I felt less comfortable then when I took the 11'.

With a lake I think that the bigger the boat the more water pollution there is. Yes the two strokes cause a lot of pollution, but lets go back a few years when the lake seemed to be pure, say in the 60's, no such thing as a four stroke outboard, but count the outboards that were on the lake. I think with the evolution of the big boats on the lake the pollution has gotten much worse.
