Correction to posting...............Correction to posting...........................

On lake Manatee you are restricted to 20 hp motors max. only, not 209 hp motors as
i had posted..................error.............20 hp only

Reason is for water purity- this is a water drawn lake for city of Bradenton
and they have it written into Florida Statue that city can control & make rules
as to how lake is used.
Have spent more than 1 day lobbying for motor increase for tournaments only
with several county commissioners..
