True.... Only time will tell but I think your conclusions are a little too hopefull.
Smaller boats use less fuel. Less expensive to registar and carry less people (normally)
Canoes and Kayaks don't normally go to lunch as a group.
We can only wait and guess what may happen with the smaller groups you mention. But I can speak for myself as well as many other friends who have GFB and the lake is not going to be on their priority list.
I love the lake so I will definately be there some of the time because my family is there.. But I know I would have spent a whole lot more then I will be which hurts the economy.
I will not guess or speculate as to what other "groups" of individuals may or may not do. I just know what I and my friends will do and that is contribute to economys elsewhere unfortunately.
