I've had a homeowner hop on his boat, charge up to us (breaking the 150' rule both with regards to shore and to us), then proceed with the old "how would you like it if I parked in front of your house" line. We were one boat with two people and a dog onboard (and he stayed onboard), anchored 150' from shore, carefully aligning ourselves at the midpoint between two well-spaced homes, with the radio so as it couldn't be heard once we were in the water.
It's boorish behavior like this that makes some boaters come down hard against landowners. As the saying goes, you catch more flies with sugar water than with vinegar.
