I actually saw posted at the dock this past weekend, "MAXIMUM 20 H.P."

It makes sense to limit it to 10 or 15. Why, though, can't "they" differentiate between Pontoon and smaller craft? There is an aweful lot of pontoon traffic there. (I waited 20 minutes while one "skipper" proceeded to block the dock, leave the motor running, unboarded with the passengers, walked up the hill to say goodbye to "guests" at his picnic, returned, and took 5 minutes to un-pry his pontoons from the dock itself, overrevving the outboard, and damaging the rubber bumper on the dock.) I would imagine 15/20 for a pontoon and 10 for smaller craft would suffice. And, dang do those things look like fun...I'm just amazed at what behavior frequently accompanies them.

You're right, though; BigZ, it isn't "unlimited" like I thought it was before.
