Regardless if you misinterpreted it or not, (I don’t think you did) they will for sure come right around and go after other styles of boats, boat racing, etc.

People cheering for this are unsmart.
and selfish.

I very well may have read that wrong. But I keep re reading and coming to the same conclusion?

Regardless of how you are reading it...

Any group can get together and advocate for whatever they want.

The issue is...

Does what they want fall within the laws of our country? If the answer is yes, with enough persistence and money, they will most likely get what they want!

Now here is the kicker...

The laws are for Everyone, yes?

We (boaters) Could get together and try and accomplish what We see fit! But do we???

To me...

It looks like the group I posted about is doing just that. And I applaud them for getting their act together and doing something besides just flapping their lips.

So now we come full circle to your original question...

Couldn't someone else do the same thing? To get something they don't like banned?

Absofuckinglutely, yes they can!!!

So...

My question has always been, WHY are we the people, that actually want to use are natural resources, doing more to protect OUR access???

Food for thought. 🤔

In Michigan on inland lakes there is a 55 mph speed limit. Is it enforced rarely. If at any given time too many loud (lol) boats appear and throttle up, lake front people at times call the popo they will sometimes show up with radar guns.

The food for thought is that those that scream and yell about access seem to whine about WHO has the access.

Glamis people want less people there, want UTVs outlawed, etc. well you just alienated the source of your biggest revenue and support.

River people want wake boats banned. Wake boats might be the most popular boat style out there most weekends.

So you are easily divided and conquered by the Greens who just want no access period.

100% ban wakesurd boats and they will push to enforce a 35mph speed limit. It goes both ways.

Does it?
I rarely to never read complaints on boat forums or the internet about boat size, speed or noise. But you can read pages for days of people complaining about wake surf boats all across the USA. 🇺🇸

Do you say that because lawmakers are experts in these fields, are never swayed by lobbies, and seem to get the laws right each and every time.
No, I'm just trying to have you stay on topic for once.

They (who exactly?) Certainly could, but it would Have to be legal to do so.
Let’s say performance boaters don’t like wake boats for example so we complain about all the wakes destroying docks beaches etc. Say performance boaters win wake boats get banned. Let’s say wakeboat people want to do the same to us. Noise complaints speed complaints etc. let them do their bullshit let us do ours.

The old River Rats are just jealous with all the tail the kids in their 500k dock crushers pull as for me, I'm too old to care. I say live and let live. ;)

But 100's of bodies of waterways in almost every state across the US disagree with that logic and have had enough with wake surf boats.

The difference is you are arguing with old people saying “Get off my lawn”. They don’t have the lifespan left for chess, so they play checkers.

You are spot on, I don’t want anything “banned” on public waterways. You start with 1 they will all be banned over time, or litigation will be created that affects all boats, like noise, power or speed limits.

You know this, I know this.

You are of course, one hundred percent entitled to your opinions.

What kills more people each year per segment, speed boats or wake boats!?

For those that know my tendencies, this is a loaded question, but if the wake boat folks were to ever actually get organized, they will bury the fast boat people. Hate all you want, regulations aren’t the answer. For anyone that thinks it will, might as well vote for Biden, the policies carry the same results! Fkn morons!
