Keep trying.
I notice that OSO has over a thousand members, so why is this argument only coming from three or four? Might it be that the rest all recognize that you guys are not really helping them by taking such an extreme position? By holding to the rediculous notion that driving at any speed on this crowded lake is safe? Might the others be mature and intelligent enough to recognize that it is in the best long-term interests of your hobby that you give in to some reasonable limits?
I like to shoot, but I would not expect to get much mileage from an argument that it is ok to fire a gun down a crowded street. I think NRA would dis-own me if I tried to make that argument in their name. They accept that to keep the sport alive, reasonable compromises must be accepted.
Mike, how was the grammar?

If you are somehow comparing a fast boat to firing a gun down the street ..your even more of a spin doctor than I would have thought ..keep trying

By the way, I traded in my Baja for a cruiser which should be in next week. Funny thing is that even with a 45 tail wind, I still don't think it will hit your proposed speed limit. Guess that means I'm not a "Go Fast"
So, even though I no longer have a dog in the fight, I still oppose HB162, and will do all I can to see that it never gets out of committe. At the risk of being repetitive, it is one sided legislation and does very little, if anything to deal with the issues facing the lake.

And as for Fasterthanthou. What a sleazy way to try and get support for your side of the bill. And I guess you'll be able to give up your name if it ever does pass cause everyone will be stuck at 45 anyways. YOU SUCK! And good luck in finding a new use for your boat as a mooring weight.
