I personally try to drive defensively while out on the lake, just as I do when I am on the highway. I do not have a problem with the go fast boats as a class, only the few jerks that would drive the way they do in any boat. Same is true of the jerk in the rented 19 foot bowrider (same size as mine).
I have tried to stay out of these threads as they seem to get into a name calling thread, which is not what this forum has been about.
I compliment you, Formula Outlaw, on the lead post in this thread. Extremely well written and informative, and commend you and your organizations for their contributions to needy charities. I am also involved in charity work, and appreciate what your group(s) have done.
Common sense and education will go a long way in making boating better for all of us. Thanks for taking the time to inform us.

Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback. And again, this Thread
is not about any issues. I an only trying to provide some insight as to "who we are".
And you are entirely correct that education and common sense (something that seems, unfortunately, to be lacking severely in most walks of life today) is the answer to most of our problems.
Cooperation goes a long ways too.
Thank you all for taking the time to read my Thread.
