I have to agree with Dave R. More times than I can count this summer boats have gone by my dock much closer than 150' and every one of them has been a pontoon boat or a bowrider. One Saturday a pontoon boat went by 6 times about 75 feet from shore - I tried waving to him at which point he waved back, came off plane and started plowing (still well above headway)!

Don't blame the boat - on it's own, it wouldn't even be out there! The problem is the operator.
