Oh yeah, forgot to mention from my previous post on page one. I got a warning from a WI DNR warden for doing a barefoot flying dock start from a pier. The only thing that prevented him from giving me a $150 ticket was that it was a new law that was enacted that stated no wake speeds within 100' of any dock. Virtually eliminates all barefoot flyers. No thanks. I don't need f****d up laws like that.

Maybe you just needed a longer rope
Yikes! I guess the '90 wont be welcomed back in the state of WI next year. Even if classic boats get a grandfather clause, its not going to help me! I guess Ill have to bring something else. |

Backfoot,
We are able to ski on a private lake here in the KC area; which has been real accomidating till this year. My son and I were able to go pull each other skiing several days a week--very convenient. Now the local is making us put an observer in (even though we usually go out when there is maybe one or two other boats on the water). He also is making us quit my son's wakeboard starts from the dock, which we only do when there is no one around. I know there's some good reasons for this, but I've been driving boats for over 40 years and now I have a 20 year old telling me what to do. I have been on lakes where boaters are driving crazy, and there's no one there to keep things in line. Seems like we can't find the middle ground. Glad your skiing it up in Florida! Chuck |

backfoot, use a 100' line. By the time you are off the dock and boat speed picks up faster than idle, you are over 100' away. Problem solved. We both know it'll still be a hassle trying to explain that to Barney and his sidekick, but based on the way they describe the law, it's legal.
I think it is also illegal now for the skier to be within 100' of any dock, boat, or even S-N-W bouy however. I use a 100' line here in WI. |

HW, your own body would still be making a wake before the 100' marker! LOL!!!!! Barney would still be able to find some technicality to be able to cite you I'm sure. |

I assumed you didn't have bouys and your only concern was boat - dock distance. We just wait till they aren't looking to do dock flyers.

It is just dock and boat distance. I was just making lite of the situation. My point being that they'll interpret the law differently than we would but their interpretation is the one that counts.

Wow Barney really makes it sound like he doesn't want us back next year. With out all our money who is going to pay for him to stay working.
I think alot of us would have a hard time passing the sound test. When I go on vacation I look to have fun not be hassled.. If I want hassle I will visit my in-laws or stay at work. |

You all need to go back next. Notify the chamber and the press and get some favorable coverage in advance. All the businesses must love you, as well as the tourists that happen upon an antique boat show. If they start writing tickets, they'll get the bad press.

This is a sad post. And it makes me dislike WI and law enforcement officers more. The Lake has a perfect example of how some dude can just use the law inappropriately to torture perfectly good citizens who are operating their boats (or whatever) in completely safe manners. It's like the IRS auditors who couldn't pass the CPA tests so they get jobs working for the IRS and go around trying to prove themselves to people. Geez.
Down here, we have a way of settling things with boys like that dnr guy, eh Boat Dr? |

The dude,
we do not have gators, swamps and the everglades to make the bodies disappear. WE have to wait until they poor some fresh concrete. No one wants to hold onto a body that long... Just joking.. |

I wonder what the decible level was when all the CC's left all at once to go to the sand bar?
Hell the goose blind would go out of buisness without the Massive CC weekend Party crowd we bring to Gree Lake. Out of all of those wooden boats on Green Lake i cant imagine that all of them pass the decible level.....especially with pipes on some of those Cris Crafts that are above the water level.......right? Come on Moj.......Go over and start talkin to those meatheads |

I would guess Bill will be a big help with the politics...I would think that an anual event that is growing each year is a good new source of revinue that the town would not want to lose!

Guys all the weekends are sold out, don't kid yourself !!! Income to a few business owners will be there no matter what.. Yes, we added a bit to the Goose revenue, and a little to the Marina gas revenue, but that's about it......
