The proposed law is silent about any speed or wake restrictions. As long as aboat is under 30' and has 499 HP, it could go 120 MPH under this law and throw a 6' wake!. Twenty foot wakeboard boats can throw as big of a wake as any cruiser on the lake! (They are designed specifically to do just that - but there's no mention of any restriction on them.)

What this law does do is discriminate against middle class folks who cannot afford a $500,000 lakehouse and who have made a family investment in a cabin cruiser as an alternative.
