And oh as for as no commercial vessel's in your lake, there have been 937 accidents with 40 deaths and 652 injuries where recreational vessels collided with other recreational vessels. Seems to me a ban on your boat is needed a lot worse than a 400 foot ban on model airplanes. Maybe a total ban nobody can own a boat except for commercial use and of course the government. Seems to me it makes a lot more sense than your 400 foot ban.

Same goes to the stupid Governor. Fires kill people, so far it has not been proven that drones can.
