The issue that all of us need to remember is the size of the boat is not the problem--it's the operater. I've owned and operated 'big boats' for the past 25 years (in the Gulf) and even in open water you must be aware of your wake and its impact on others. The only thing about big boats is they have big wakes and most operators of big boats on Lake Martin do not show proper concern for the effects of their wakes. Loud/fast boats are another matter. These boats are an accident waiting to happen. Boats do not have brakes and a boat running at 60-100 mph with traffic within a half mile is not safe. I've driven them and don't believe these guys that talk about how responsible they are--that's bull. If they were responsible they wouldn't have that kind of boat in Lake Martin.

If the law doesn't pass this year, it'll pass soon because the public doesn't seem to be responsible enough to police itself.
