I like how the 50hp issue, was side-stepped by saying that it won't solve the water pollution problem. I say quit coming up with problems and start finding solutions. Going to 50hp would have been a start. All the "hubub" about needing to go to 35hp to cut down on bank erosion, has now been doing the opposite. A boat loaded with 5 people under limited power, causes more bank erosion than anything else. I say to solve the pollution problem, don't take motor's off the river, take polluting motors off the river. Motors should be checked to pass 2006 EPA emission standards...except that will never happen, because then all the older 2-strokes would be out, and that would create a guide/civilian issue. I just hope that before DNR, the feds, or whomever starts resticting, that they aren't too hasty. Any decision to limit use of this resource, can be extremly detrimental to the community and its patrons.
