Best course of action I can suggest is to break out the camcorder or digicam and snap a video/picture* of the offender(s) and send them to the Marine Patrol. While they may not be sufficient evidence for a fine, perhaps the MP could send the owners a reminder of the 150' rule and hint they might want to start following it. I suspect if it's regularly violated by the same people, some action will happen.
*to be of any use you'll have to have the picture capture an object of known dimensions at a known distance from the camera. From these 2 pieces of information (plus the boat's LOA, already known via the registration) the distance from the camera to the boat can be determined.

I have the BearCam taking just the kind of pictures you are talking about. Do you think the boats in these pictures are 150' from the dock?
