My wife and I have had a lake place for about 16 years and have lived here full time since 1998. I have never submitted to the forum due to the fact that we really don't like controversy. However, I feel the need to at least try to settle some of this. As a beginning, we don't have a large boat and began our wonderful life here on the lake with a canoe, graduated to a ski boat and now have a pontoon boat which we love. To be very honest, if we could afford a larger boat as some on the lake, we would have it. Some and probably most with the larger boats don't, or can not afford $500,000 plus for a "cabin" on the lake and their joy is being able to use their boats for fun and enjoyment. I am not saying that I agree or disagree with the new boating law, but I will say that there is a solution for everyone. Those within the law have a right to enjoy this lake as everyone. My wife and I have not gone to the 4th of July fireworks for quite some time. The last time we went, there were hundreds of much larger boats and our ski boat was too small for the area. The solution..stay out of the area and let those people enjoy! In other words, if there is too much traffic for your boat, do as we do, go somewhere else and let your fellow boaters do their thing. I must say also, that courtesy on a day to day basis is the key. I ask those with the larger boats and PWC's to try to stay in open water away from the bays so as to not irritate those that live there. Again, courtesy is the key to harmony.
