I understand the speed limit, still don’t explain outboard only."that it's outboard motors only & at idle speed"

I don't know it's not my rules. I think it's something about trying to keep the boats small.What’s the point of outboards only? What if this guy shows up?

They’ve obviously never watched any Haulover Bay videos. I think we saw a boat with something like fifteen-hundred-horsepower-worth of outboards out back.I don't know it's not my rules. I think it's something about trying to keep the boats small.
If you have ever trolled on one engine in 20 knots you would know I am probably less manoeuvrable than him. And it’s not about the pure rule. I know the general rule of priority in navigation. But they are for close quarters. This was wide open lake. It’s about courtesy, common sense and avoiding the issue. He could easily have done that. And I swear he headed directly to me on purpose. It’s too large an area for two near misses.But, he does have the right of way.
You’ve got a whole lake as well.

It’s like when someone pulls into their slip and you help them with lines and getting in. I don’t need a rule to know it’s the right thing to do.

Just make sure your cursor is after their final quote ] before you start tying. No worries; it happens a lot.Don’t know what I did wrong my reply went into the copy text. Huh?
True but I was coming into a narrow part of the lake and he was headed back in the direction I came from so he had to hit my wake either way.I find a lot will cut in front to avoid the wake of a big boat.

I looked around a little bit and did not find a dedicated thread to share boating goof ups.
This came across my feed and it caught my attention because the boat in the clip is a Sea Ray.
I sure hope it is not one of our members. Not that our members are all perfect skippers but this is a pretty bone head maneuver!
