I believe the issue with large boats on the lake doesn't have to do with noise or wakes or some of the other reasons posted on the subject. I think the real issue is to keep someone from putting a HUGE house boat on the lake. It doesn't sound like an issue on a lake the size of Lake Martin. However, if someone anchors the boat in front of your house or in your slough because they like the view or the privacy you have or the location or whatever their reason, then you may find yourself with a problem. Think of a floating double wide parked right in front of your dock for the summer months.

And what is to prevent someone from even letting their houseboat beach during the winter months. With the scarcity of lots/homes and some of the lots around the lake going for $700K or more, why buy the lot, when you could spend $700K on a huge floating house and park it right in front of the lot for the cost of a boating sticker every year? You could buy a very nice house boat for the kind of money. It may even come with leveling/stablizing pillars that can be dropped down to anchor the boat permanently just as with a lot of mobile homes that are up on cinder blocks and that no longer have their wheels.

I personally would like to see the size of boats limited to prevent that from happening on Lake Martin. I have seen the size of some of the house boats on Lake Lanier and they are huge. I don't like a lot of laws and rules any more than the next guy, but I would like to see this legislation to protect our lake from this type of invasion.
