I'll bite too. Violations of the 150' rule are not a bass boat problem. It is singly, in my humble opinion, the singly most-violated rule of boating, and the perpertrators range from the dreaded bass boats to those scary pontoon boats to rambunctious runabouts to cautionless cuddy cabins to daunting deck boats to....
Bottom line, I find that I take few trips onto the lake where I do not witness "close calls" with the 150' rule, in virtually all cases not "dangerous" as such-simply a violation. I dare say I have had very small boats, say a 14 foot Starcraft pass close by, although it happened so fast, I didn't notice what engine the boat had.
(Sorry, JS, I couldn't help myself.
)
What do I do on the lake? I try to be defensive, and enjoy the day, even waving to those who may be close by.
Enjoy the boating.
