You may have missed this:
"People who buy those larger Sea Rays are usually idiots...doesn't surprise me." As far as the generalizations are concerned, I passed every kind of boat going northbound through the ICW as I was coming down when the show broke up. Almost all were wide open through the idle & slow speed zones. None of them were Sea Rays. Although I didn't quiz them on the nav rules they obviously didn't know that they were responsible for damage caused by their wakes so I'd guess they may have missed other lessons too. Idiots come in every kind of boat although I've found the worst offenders are usually the go-fasts, but some of them know their stuff too.
