Certainly not a bass boat specific issue. Today while about 100 yards before the black top at Sandy Point in Alton, a Formula split myself and another boat and we were probably a smidge under 150 ft but our speed was maybe 15 MPH.
He cleared my boat with maybe 40 ft which is way closer than I was comfortable with given the tight quarters. I think the worst part was that as he passed us, he swung very wide and was probably only 25-30 ft from the docks just past and opposite the black top. I usually don't sweat when someone clips off a some of the 150 ft rule but this kind of action is why legislation will keep getting passed.......
