Default Unsafe boating - not watching out for other craft

It happens all the time and it did again today while leaving Wolfeboro about a 1/4 mile from the docks.

A V hulled party boat, similar to a pontoon boat, was heading into the bay, weaving to either side of my bow, and I was trying to determine where he was going when he changed course and came right at me. I could not see the person driving so I assume he could not see me. I had to change course and hit the gas and speed up from about 15 mph in order to avoid him. As I passed he was oblivious to me and gave no recognition that I was even there or that anything was wrong. We are a 22.5' with 8' beam cuddy so we are very visible.

This situation happens too many times on the lake and eventually someone will get hurt.

I must say the MP was out and visible today but was not in Wolfeboro when this happened.
