I have to agree with you Bobio ! Who the heck came up with the number 'two' was OK to raft and three was not. Is it more dangerous or something ? I just don't see the harm.

At the ocean, where I sometimes do my boating, I see boaters rafting
with 8-10 boats tied together in a cove. Not unusual ! I know a lake has a lot less space to move around, but still, where do you draw the line.

I suspect most boating laws, are being paseed by State legiislatures who are not boaters and don't use common sense in their judgement.

Just my 2 cnts.
