Was stopped a few weeks ago for the very same thing. MP boat was sitting well outside the Weirs Beach NWZ. I was heading back to Alton Bay following two very large vessels well outside the 150' limit. They were making large wakes! I was third in line behind them an traveling about the same speed. I get stopped. Cursory check of safety equipment--I had it all. Turn over paperwork and 10 minutes later he comes back with a $68 ticket for going to fast within 150 ft of another boat--I assume his! No sense arguing. I had my boaters safety card but unfortunately left the boat registration in the car at Alton Bay. But that was not what the citation was for--so go figure!
