I try and stay as far away as possible, but i am sure one can not judge the difference between 100 and 150 feet when you are out on the water.

any thoughts?

While launching at Glendale a few years ago, I was talking with MP and they had a good suggestion for judging 150 feet. It's about the distance where you can just about make out the bow numbers on vessel in your immediate area. If you require glasses, I'd suggest wearing them for this method.
