I had a vessel safety check done on Saturday by Lakes Region Power Squadron. The inspectors said to be very aware of the 150 foot rule as Marine Patrol was really going after people for that, and it represented a very high percentage of their stops.
From observation - I watched from the Weirs boardwalk on Friday of bike week while 4(!) Marine Patrol units pulled boaters over left and right. It sure looked like most were for violations of the 150 foot rule.
