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. |
Yeah it is a generalization......Down here in South Florida it is typically the SeaRay owners.....I met one that bought a new 54' as his first boat and just started running it, with no instruction and never had a boat before......I have met a few Searay owners that are knowledgable as well......but the majority of traffic offenders in South Florida are the Searay owners...... it may be different elsewhere........
