I agree. The transition to boating in Florida is a shock every year. Going along at about 20 MPH and another boat passes within 15 feet and their wake really throws your boat around. At first I want to yell or retaliate in some way but the other boat has no idea that they did anything wrong. I don't think it is a violation of law but it certainly is not showing common courtesy.
Many boaters just look ahead and do not see what is beside them or the effect their wake has on other boats. I think the laws in NH have made most of us (at least those of us that follow them) more aware of safety and better boaters.
