I agree completely. When i was a youngster (1958) on Greenwood Lake, New York.... the southern half of the lake was in New Jersey...a lake maybe 9 miles long and something less than a mile wide. The Coast Guard was there in the summer. They had two boats and maybe 6 guys..who spent the summer lodged in a local "Lodging" right on the shore near their boats. The "Reason" they were there..? This was an
Interstate Lake.
They inforced the local boating laws....leaning more toward Safety and Diplomacy ..I THINK. I was never stopped. I was chased once when I exceeded the speed limit in the "Arm", which was a narrow waterway on the north end of the lake . I had a
Sid Craft "B" Utility with a Merc 20H. Not exactly low profile. .....Noisy
