We were out friday for a little cruise......just poking along in the late afternoon. There was no one around except a couple of pontoons. All of a sudden, a bass boat passed us (at a very safe distance) going at least 75mph. There was no one around and the guy wanted to rip a little bit and we didn't see any harm in it. Looked like a Merc 275 as near as we could tell. Actually we were all laughing because the the only thing in the water was his lower unit and the guy did not even leave a wake.....not even a ripple in the very light chop as we crossed where his wake should have been. We were thinking.....he'd be legal in a no wake zone at that speed as long as the speed wasn't posted.
