So every cigarette boat is seen going fast as some like to say... Okay, so you just accounted for a small percent of the boat ban... yippee to you. What about the cruisers? Oh yeah, I forgot those are the ones that belong in the ocean. Funny thing is, I was down at the Gulf last weekend, walked the pier and true there was one boat there that is the same size as our families. Guess what... IT WAS THE SMALLEST BOAT THERE !!! Why? Maybe because our boat was built in Tennessee, to be used on lakes and rivers... NOT the gulf. It can't handle the rough chop in the gulf, it isn't "quick" enough to cut through waves... but because some of you don't like it I shouldn't have a right to have it on the lake. My boat isn't loud, it doesn't pollute like a 2-cycle, and it doesn't go all that fast... but if it wasn't for a grandfather clause It would be illegal and that would make you happy. Now, I think you are all being a little selfish.
See I can be happy for the time being, but I know that my boat will not last forever, and when it has seen its last day then the grandfather clause is gone. I don't get another one. Here is a scenario... Last year a friend had his boat totalled while it was at the pier, due to wind damage... guess what, according to the law, he has lost his grandfather for that boat because it is a loss.... so how fair is that? Something that is totally out of my controll can take my boat away and I can't get another one like it to replace it with... well unless of course I buy another grandfathered boat.
