HP Limit

My friend Paul owns the marina,  I asked about it, will never happen. Because the size of the lake. Speed is there concern, and some 60hp motors can run around 45mph on the right boat. Max speed on a 40hp is about 35 tops.

I grew up fishing a state owned and operated lake in Tennessee that was a "no wake" lake. It is a  177 acre lake. Any size rig with any size motor, just no wake, strictly enforced. I'd be out in my 10 ft flat jon with a minn kota 35 and sculling paddle fishing next to a 20 ft bass boat.  That would work at Fellows but then folks would be complaining about all the bass rigs on Fellows.

I grew up in Bella Vista, AR and they have a lot lakes like that. I had done the same thing, been in a paddle boat and 20' Ranger idles right past me. I am still working on just bugging the crap out of them on it.
