Letter to the Editor Fulton Chain is no place for noisy, oversize boats

To the Editor:

I want to voice my opinion on both the size of boats and the noise level of their exhausts as they travel the Fulton Chain of Lakes.

We live up off the water and the noise from these out-sized boats for the size of our lakes is deafening at times. Is there any noise regulation that would apply to this nuisance?

Are there any water regulations for the size of watercraft on the Fulton Chain?

It is unbelieveable that someone who wants to come to enjoy the beautiful Adirondack Mountains could be so inconsiderate of the noise pollution they are spreading to other residents and vacationers.

I know from comments we have heard from neighbors on First Lake that they share the same dissatisfaction with these boats.

What can be done to eliminate these boats from our waters?
