Been there done that. Got a e-mail back from the gov't showing motor boat lakes but they also added the local munincipality can change that if they like. The info was useless, let me know if you find anything better,good luck.

I respect your compliance fickel. As much as I hate to say it I would probably have taken her out. Thanks for having way more self control than I do.

compliance, sorry, but there is nothing illegal about using a motor boat at Rock Lake.

just got back from rock; there are no signs stating electric only. we, along with everybody else with a gas motor were out on the lake, doin our thing. I even made sure to look at all the signage at both launches - did not find anything not permitting motors.

if you are willing to make the trip, the boat launches and the washed-out road in should be enough to keep the m***** out of there; i don't think gas motors need to be banned there.
cheers
