RedA Loc: Stow, MA

Hello
I’m going to be introducing the current movements to restrict wake boat uses to our Lake Commission tomorrow
night and hope that we can set some limits here.

I’m trying to find the final text of the Tennessee SB2107 but haven’t been able to find it ☹️

Has anyone else been able to find the final bill text?

Thanks,

Thanks, Food !
I’ve been trying to find that but unsuccessful.
Now I’m ready for the Lake Commission tomorrow.

I introduced the Wake Boat, Board & Surfing topic at last weeks Lake Commission meeting, highlighting the 3 risks
1. The safety risk of the excessive wakes to all other boaters & swimmers.
2. The algae bloom risk to the Lake of a wake boat disturbing the sediment (at 16ft deep 🤭) and the caused phosphorous release.
3. The shoreline and property risk caused by the 2ft wakes hitting the shoreline, docks & boats ☹️

With a half hour of Googling, I found 9 states now that have put serious wake boat restrictions in place or considering whether to outlaw the wake boats or set limits on where wake boarding and surfing are legal.

Putting new bylaws in place is a slow & time consuming process but I hope that we can start it and in the mean time manage the risk with enforcement of MA laws that don’t allow the “rocking” of boats, docks & swinmers 🤞🤭

Inputs & suggestions welcome?
