The yo-yo that overtook me Sunday at 40Mph+,30ft from my port side gave me no warning he was there.Thank God I didn't start to turn to the left.The reason we have 150 ft rule is for exactly a scenario I encountered...
I am not the usual PWC rider that always going in circles and hard to figure out where they are going.Those riders actually bug the heck out of me cuz it's hard to judge what course to maintain.I always look over my shoulder before I change course abruptly.
No,for me the 150 ft violation is scarier.

SIKSUKR...We agree!
As one who spends most of the time
having the RoW (sailing), boaters who choose to yield
at 150-feet are worrisome. Nowadays, there can be only 1½ seconds to cross 150-feet.
I signal a warning at about 500-600 feet distance.
I've noticed that some Jet-Skis have rearview mirrors. Perhaps you could consider a retrofit.
(Unless you "do circles" — then you might get dizzy).
