Here is my rant. If your going slower then 20 MPH please do the other boaters on plane cruising somewhere the courteously to stay out of the middle of the area. We have to slow down so often bc the other boats won’t move over ( at the lawful 150 foot rule btw land and other boat) to allow another boat to pass safe. I think some people just don't (or can’t) visualize the 150 feet.
I also think so many boaters are hung up on I HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY instead of common sense /courtesy allowing EVERY one to enjoy the lake. Make room when ya can and you just may get more waves saying thanks for letting me pass safely as your just cruising.

Here’s a bone head story- pulling you children tubing with your pontoon boat at the very end of Alton Bay cutting across the whole bay as other boats try and avoid you….DuH?!
