There are many supporters out here. We're just not into bickering.

It is sad that now this board looks more like offshores only than the one I've always enjoyed.

If you were to look at the number of users who are proponents of the 45/25 rule on this forum, it is minor as oppose to those who are against it or feels that it infringe upon their civil liberties.
We had two high speed ice boats crashed the other day resulting in a death. I say we should support all vehicles using the lake, summer and winter to obey the 45/25 rule, regardles of what they are. I bet that will open up another can of worms.

Oh, I don't know about that.

Just a month after Don started this forum six years ago, he had to ask "Where IS Everybody"; thereupon, someone started a thread titled, Baja Hammer Owners???

It didn't take long for the "noise and speed" complaints to suddenly appear back in March of 2000.

I'm with you Mike. All big, obnoxious, polluting powerboats should be banned from the lake. They make me crazy when they zoom by, blatantly ignoring the 150' rule, then wave to me... Don't they know what their wake does to me?

It’s time something was done….. Life is too short to have these Yahoos endangering life, disturbing the peace of the great waters and polluting the waters that we play in. God intended us to use his bountiful lake with more respect.

Randy,
You're right, Iroquois was sold off for development. Last I heard the loud boat and its loud owner are now mooching off his parents at a small lake in Milton. We won't miss him and his drinking buddies. One of their wives drove past our place towing the boat's trailer and after drinking beer all afternoon took the corner board off our place. Of course she denied it despite the fact that a reflector was left in the road and their trailer suddenly sported some damage. Needless to say we don't miss their 2 week beer binges in Alton Bay.

Some things never change—You'll recognize some familiar names, too.

(Including one who replaced an illegal exhaust with a different illegal exhaust!)
