Oh the concerns
Multiple concerns: 150 ft rule, excessive noise, damaging wakes (there goes the shoreline), reckless operation, just to mention a few.
No sign of noodles being used as life preservers, though. Dave

My dad rented something similar for me in Florida when I was about 15. The outboard was under a cover just forward of center. No dead man cord. I flipped it on a wave and was thrown in the water. When I surfaced there was the prop spinning to beat the band. The guy we rented from was pissed I didn’t try to right it before the motor sucked seawater. Even at that age I was smart enough to think FU I like my hands and legs!
