The answer is simple

Because I want to and because I can !!


People get jealous because you got something bigger and nicer and all they can do is mother**** you instead of complimenting you
I am jealous does that make me a bad person

What I said was relating to any performance boat so even your Donzi would fit that!

just a thought, what if we banded together and formed something like the lake george powerboat club. and we tried to work together with the lake george patrol, maybe invite them to some of our events, give them a few rides in our boats, and really let them know that we are a good group of people and that one of our main goals operating these boats is safety, just maybe if we tried this we could get them on our side, and they will start harrassing indians on jet ski's and leave us alone. Hey you never know it might just work, if you can't beat'em, join'em. this aproach works well for pokerruns america, they have a very good relationship with the authorities were ever they have events, and it is because they work very closly with them at every event. I know this sounds crazy coming from me, but i think it would be much more fun to go out and enjoy the lake without having to worry about getting pulled over everytime you go out.

An organization WAS formed for this very reason several years back and it is called the Lake George Power Boaters Association. Dues were collected, officers named, nothing done.

I'd like to think that by being together, that we would have a chance with the Patrol, but those of you that live there, and those of us that boat there know that the LG Association rules that lake with an iron hand. All you have to do is read the minutes of their meetings to see what people have to go through to add feet to their dock. I'm glad LG is great, its clean, and beautiful, but it seems that some things are overdone by the Association, and they control the patrol.

I'm not on any bodies side. From what Chuck said, it does seem that they are being a PITA to him, so in this case, except for the speed, which he admits to, I'm on his side.
All that you say about the LGA ruling the lake is not true. They have fought SEVERAL developments and multi home subdivisions adamently and lost. Cresthaven, the two new mansions south of the Tahoe Motel, Sun Castle etc. They clearly have a strong voice however. Unfortunately, things are EXTREMELY political and palms are greased and unfortunately there is alot of $$$$CHA CHING$$$$$$ in the pockets of the VOCAL MINORITY. Furthermore, radar is NOT accurate from the angle the DEC supposedly "shot" Chuck, ESPECIALLY on a boat! This was more along the lines of easy pickin's. It is all about the $$$$! And THAT is the BOTOM LINE!

Chuck, How did you make out ?? Did you call my Lawyer. I have been out two days this week but havent seen a patrol boat yet. I also talked to Ron Abbott today. He said the patrols were bothering him for having the wrong L.G. sticker on his boat. series A instead of C. They actually boarded his boat and searched his cuddy for a bathroom or porta potty !!! They will probably make an episode on CSI about this !!

lmao
