Default Not just archaic...it's vague!

The 150' rule isn't enforced because nobody wants to enforce a rule that is violated so often by so many boaters.

It's also VAGUE. A speed limit works for Lake George because the results can be quantified, and boaters know it. Officers only have to write a few tickets a year to keep a semblance of order.

When a Jet-Ski runs through "clot" of three family boats exiting a cove, all are technically violators. Who gets cited? Nobody.

Why collect MORE money for enforcement of a vague rule that has long outlasted its usefulness?
