Let the Marine Patrol handle it? That is a joke! I own a Baja, NO I DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE POKER RUN.
I was recently stopped by the Marine Patrol for the 150" rule, but I was 200 ft. from the only boat around. They are enforcing rules that have not even been broken because of the stuid hesteria being caused. It is lawless and unconstitutional the way they are patroling the lake.
They are stopping boats without proable cause and the officers are babies, all around 20 years old with little to no practical boating or law-enforcement experience. They need to do some real policing and go after the boats causing the problems, not just the power boats that are an easy target.
