So true. It was never even an issue until they started heavily dumping the big lake toilet on us and Jupiter. Now, it's an annual nightmare.
It's very depressing and nobody can seem to explain why they won't stop. Fish populations were decimated in the Keys too when the seagrass all died from not getting enough fresh water. It just doesn't make sense.

Re: Need to downsize - 1985 55C
We get fish kills over here when the core of engineers panics during hurricane season and dumps the lake too fast. They blame big sugar and people fertilizing their lawns, but if you want a reality check take a look at the annual DEP report from your local water treatment plant. Every one has a column of how much untreated sewage is released into the rivers and bays. It’s shocking 10’s of millions of gallons a year. And with all the developments it’s only getting worse.

Florida is an ecological nightmare. In the 1950s the Keys were pristine with gin clear waters like the Bahamas. Swarms of Jewfish in 10 feet of water, everybody went home with a full cooler. At 22 million people Florida is a wasteland, but hey, I'll be there this winter because it's warmer than Illinois.
Hope you found a buyer for that beautiful 55' Hatt. IMO the 1980s 55' Hatts have the best lines of any SF ever made.

Better sell quick diesel just jumped over a buck here in Florida hate me but there is a newer style 55 HP I’ve been seeing pop up asking 175 also. I think in a falling market you need to price aggressively if you want to sell.
