Gee I wonder if any AZ registered F32's ran in the poker run...

That list is not complete. 157 boats were registered for the PR. Plus the list is of Home of Record not where boat is registered.

It's been my observation that the pontoon riders are a more mellow crowd.

It's rare that you see a pontoon stopped for anything more than a life jacket count.

I know there are a certain group of people that count on the fact that pontoons don't attract much attention from the authorities

Whether or not the people on the pontoon felt they were in danger is irrelivant.... Lets just say for argument sake, the pontoon which is underway in the video, were to have stalled out before the DCB made the move off to the port side? Or lets say they paniced and made a sudden move to avoid being run over (at that speed the DCB would not have been able to avoid the pontoon). I would guess you would have a handfull of seriously injured (if not dead) people. The faster the boat is moving the more space should be given, just like when driving a car. When on the E-way, you give more space so if the car in front of you slows, for any reason, you don't end up as a part of their vehicle (this should be common sense, however it appears some folks lack the "sense" part). Anyone who defends the actions of the operator, or doesn't think that pass was way too close, or accepts this as safe or "cool", should NOT be operating a boat themselves until they have taken a boaters safety course

I was not defending the operator of the DCB in any way. Just making an observation regarding the pontoons crew's reaction.

Please go back and read posts #8 & 36. Maybe that will help you with your observation.
