would people think your selling your boat for 150.00 would they think that is too much concidering the price of gas?

I think the increase in the fines for second or third offenses is already in place if one takes their cases to court. I think now after I got my first and last ticket on the lake that next time I go to court instead of just paying it. Sometimes the 150' rule can be an entrapment like that boat (police) backing away from shore towards you and you can't see him at dusk and woops your in his 150' space.

I believe in the 150' rule, I think the people on the lake for the most part if this was followed we would have a 90% safer lake, what not 100% no because there are navigations to make that a few people have lost lower units on. And we have these displacement hulls that put out big waves that hide kayaks.

But it would be safe if we all follwed the 150' rule. I am glad that in different areas they have put bouys out marking where 150' is. Study them, it helps.
