So your are saying that if 5 boats meet up on a Friday morning and decide to run up the lake together and they cruise up the lake at say around 100 mph (this is not running hard in a 388 Skater or a 44 MTI), the water patrol is going to write you up for reckless boating or something like that? They really can’t write you up for speeding because there is no speed limit because you are not in a permitted event.

WTF are you talking about. People will run as fast as they want and if water patrol wants to give a bogus ticket most guys will happily fight it with the same open check book that they use to maintain their boat.

Last I checked we still have the right to assemble in this country and go for a boat ride on a Friday morning.

Oh yeah, welcome to the site..
