I was slowly motoring out of Braun Bay at roughly 3PM this past Sunday. A decent sized Four Winns bowrider passed me on plane and on my port side with inches to spare. There was at least 600 feet between me and the shore to port so he had plenty of room to go around me legally. It was lightly raining so perhaps the guy did not see me though visibility was at least 2-3 miles as I could see the shore in Gilford. Freaked me and my passengers out just a bit as none of us were looking aft at the time. The boat just appeared beside us and was gone in an instant. No one on the other boat made any attempt to acknowlege us. If had done something like this by accident, I would have stopped and apologized.
