I would have had to have had a little talk with that operator. Sounds like it's been standard practice with them.
I stopped a pontoon boat on another lake that had a young child sitting on the bow dangling his legs in the water as they went along at maybe 8mph. The boat, around an 18 footer, had about 10 people on it and was very low in the water. This was a July 4th weekend. I guess I just can't understand some of these parents.
