Just an FYI.... you can LEGALLY pass (overtake) another boat in a NWZ or marked channel.... it just depends on HOW you go about it.

I like the 150' rule, and I kind of think it as a guideline so as not to get too upset with those ignorant of that particular rule. There are NO other states with a 150" rule in regards to boat on boat operation. The rule is there to prevent collisions, and while collisions still happen, I think that rule helps. I don't get upset if someone comes too close to me, as long as I see them, and I can quickly discern their intended path so I can doo my part avoid any possibility of a collision.

I agree with XCR-700 - take your boat out on the ocean and see what CRAZY really is!
