Horsepower Limits Small Lakes - Meetings

Big boat owners don't get it. They never will. A 70mph boat can cover an entire 10,000 acre lake, whereas a 10hp rig is restricted to about 500 acres. Fishing on a big lake ***** in a small boat, no matter how busy it is.

On the majority of the "big lakes" there are multiple boat ramps all around them that smaller boats could trailer to in order be very close to where ever they want to fish. I understand that it could be an inconvenience to trailer to different ramps depending on where you want to fish, but it is still an option. On the majority of the smaller lakes, there is only one or two ramps and the "70mph boats" are restricted to trolling at half the speed that smaller crafts with 9.9's are allowed.
