You have dodged my comments a few times about your HP law. Technology is getting better and better, so why push/limit people that want HP to buy older, less efficient engines?

One 1,700HP boat is one to many.
The lake is not big enough for some of the larger cruisers that are showing up. And who knows how much bigger they may be in the future. People will always find excuses and ways around laws. A HP limit is easy to understand an enforce. If you can think of a way to also limit older less efficient engines that is great. Other lakes have HP limits and they work. This "it will never work" argument makes no sense when it is working on so many other lakes.
