I've had this happen a couple times through the years when I was definitely not within 150 ft. of another boat and after passing the inspection what do you know - no citation for the 150 ft. violation.

Same here. I was "pulled over" by MP based on what they told me was a report from another boater that I was within 150' of them. I am on a PWC, so no boarding, but they did check my safety equip.
And for the record, I was nowhere close to being within 150'.
