The 150ft law is for going above head way speed only.If I want i can pull up to your dock and tie up since your dock is within that high water safe area.

So let me get this straight, you think that it is in your legal right to pull up to and tie off to anyones dock and hang out? I think you are sadly mistaken. I think that the laws you need to look into are beyond that of the "Boat Patrol" as you deem them. I am sure you are not in your rights to walk right up onto a persons shore and stand at or just below their high water mark. Check that with "Boat patrol", or maybe state law and let us know what you find-in writing...
