It's not all just the Volvo type yuppies. There are also some old fartz that remember the 50's and want to go back to those days. I was there in the 50's (as a kid) and it was great except they didn't have any "offshore" boats. Of course aren't all boats "offshores"...if they weren't they would be "planters" on your front lawn

Post an email address so that we "out of staters" can respond accordingly..

We could argue both views all day long,but I would rather band with my fellow OSO members and fight against the new proposed speed limits.

I wouldn't count on the lack of manpower argument. These big government types would love nothing more than to hire some more manpower to enforce ridiculous laws. They will fund it with ticket money and taxes. Also let's say the politicians are adamant about it enough to make the fine $1000 (the boaters really pissed them off in the meetings, or it started out at $50 but the Do-Gooder Safety Nazis thought that was too low after some accident). Even with low manpower, how many of us would want to chance such a large fine? The fine is $750 in California just for taking your car over 100 mph. People in Europe drive that fast all day long.

Something to think about...

I don't know, maybe some govermental department or anyplace that we can voice dissenting opinions on this proposal.

Maybe the email addresses of the idiots sponsoring this legislation. Post all you can so that we can deluge them.

CMG...Thanks for the heads up these people wont be happy till we are all rowing across the broads...I check in on winnilakers 1 or two times a month would not have seen this... Custie from winnilakers e mailed me also...This Szit pizzs me off

FYI...State of Florida ballot initiative to require MA residents to apply for a visa ( 5 yr max), must establish they don't carry this lethal infection prior to being allowed to establish domicile in state.

IDIOTS!
Look at it this way.... All vehicle speed limits have gone UP in the last 15 years because cars are safer and can handle the speed better. Back in the 50s, all boats had thru hull exhaust. Safe boaters are paying the price... It should be mob rule. You should be able to beat the SH!T out of someone you find on the lake being a moron.
Next we will have stop lights on the lakes.

The route of the problem is jet skis and idiot riders. They cause more BS on the lake.
They should have a law against a moron driving across the main channel or skiing in the main channel. You can kill someone at 45 just as easily as 85.

I aim for idiot jet skiers now.

Dont even get me going on jetski,s and waverunners.They rent them to anybody for a small fee.I cannot tell you how many of these morons ride like they are the only one on the lake.They can be doing 60 and make an abrupt direction change without even looking!
