I was on the lake last weekend, heading into Alton Bay just off Sandy Point near the sandbar. There was a bass boat (Ranger, Nitro style) towing a disabled PWC with the rider still on the PWC, maybe needed for steerage - I'm not familiar? I wanted to give them some space, and in an effort not to capsize the PWC with my wake I went as far right as I could toward the spar marker near the sandbar. Three boats, all Formulas - appeared to be together - came right up the middle between me and the bass boat at approximately 40-45mph. Clearly violated the 150' rule between me and the bass boat, and were very close together bow-to-stern. MP was right there in clear sight and did nothing. Impossible they could have missed it visually.
