I don't know the answer to your question but...

What does 150' look like, from my boat, from the MP boat?

I see guys threading the needle all the time, passing 50' or so away at speed or worse, plowing up a huge wake.

There are some rough seas that I encounter while closer than 150'. In those cases I sometimes pulse the throttle to lift the bow over the churning wakes.

Yes that exceeds what's legal but it makes more sense to me than taking one over the bow.
