When did someone come up with the 150' rule on the lake..? Just wondering.
Probably the same people that know exactly the 72', 45' 12' 6 inch distance that boats on the fly are from one another This thread reminds me of high school. Those that were petrified of everything, those that imagined terror in everything, and those that just lived life.

This wasn't a life or death event folks. If you want to worry about something, look at the real problems happening everyday around you. Lots of accidents, drownings, PWC's crashing into boats and docks, bowriders in trees.

Interesting, no comment.

There was a reason that these type of people didn't make our nation's rules for centuries. I'm sure at one point, we'll return to normal.
