Take Macbride motor issue to top Iowa court

Cris Carter, ex-NFL wide receiver, has a segment on ESPN called “Come on, man” where stupid stuff in sports is called out for what it is. That term applies to the Lake Macbride boat motor-size situation. Without rehashing all the pros and cons of that discriminating situation, let's just call it what it is: just plain wrong.
Want it fixed? Do what the other minority groups do. Get it before the Iowa Supreme Court. Someone, or a group of us, need to pick a day, run our large motors at no wake, get the ticket, start a fund, hire a lawyer and get this resolved once and for all. Get organized and fight. Count me in.
