The sign at the West Hill Pond state boat launch says no water skiing is allowed. What about towing "tubers"? see pics The place has turned into a circus on some weekends!

almost every time i go, i have issues.. this old man wasnt happy i was launching my bass boat. (before anybody ask i pulled my prop) so as i was backing in, he walked into the water, sat on the ramp with his paddle board and wouldn't move. this went on for over 10 min until his daughter walked over, told him he's acting like a child and being a F***ing a$$**le.

Im allergic to land, get me on the water <")))>< My CTF Profile
Notice the large motors on boats that are docked all around the lake.
Think the lake residents follow the same summer rules and not use their boat?
Someone needs to explain to me why it is ok to launch my bass boat, with a 115, the day before Memorial Day and the day after Labor Day, and stay under 15 MPH, and it's permissible.
If I launch after Memorial Day and before Labor Day, stay under 15 MPH, and it is not permitted?
I have been up there during the summer, and have seen boats with the large motors out on the water.
Lake residents think that the rules don't apply to them.

In the picture if that's what your referring to all I see is pontoon boats. As and owner of a 22 ft pontoon boat with a 40 HP mercury on the back I can tell you I can only get a max speed of 14 mph. That's not to say that their are lake residences don't have boats that will go above that but pontoons are for sure not known for their racy lines lol. On the flip side I see no problem with someone launching a bass boat as long as they follow the rules. That dude blocking the boat ramp is probably a tree hugging bitch who wants to keep his lake private in my opinion. To bad for him there is a state owned ramp lol.

My buddy recently launched his bass boat up there and maybe it's the same guy but he caught all kinds of hell from some old guy telling him he can't launch his boat there and it's against the rules, etc. He then chased them around the lake in his row boat with 5hp while my buddy just used his trolling motor. Eventually he left. My buddy was very cordial which was pretty good seeing how this guy was according to my friend. I'm not sure I would of been as nice.
