I think I read or at least glanced over all these post and the responces. Pardon me if I missed something but I would be remiss if I failed to ask my question.
Am I the only one here posting who ever saw a person running a SKI BOAT ACTING DANGEROUSLY?

One fine example was a few years ago as we were teaching my youngest daughter to ski. My brother inlaw was in the water with her and I was driving our boat when a guy pulling a skier ran behind my boat between it and my people who were in the water. He managed to cut the ski rope approx 6 feet behind us resulting in snatching the rope from my daughters hands and wrapping it around his own prop. That stopped him and he and I had words,,,,,,,,SERIOUS WORDS !

Perhaps I shouldnt mention the ski boat that cut so close behind me while I was trolling from the pontoon boat that he cut both my lines.

Or maybe I shouldnt mention the one who as I was loading a friends boat on the trailer last year who came so close that he almost washed the boat from the trailer as I drove it on.

Jet skis! They should be illegal. Ive had several instances where I have almost been rammed by them.

Yes, there are many idiots on the water and they operate ALL forms of crafts but lets be fair and cover all of them if we are going to breach the subject.

I fish and love to doit. My old bass boat gives me the best ride at about 35 MPH and I frankly never saw any need to run 70+ to catch a fish although I admit that in my younger days it was fun to go fast.

Before I leave I will hope that the ski boat driver who saw fit to pull his skier between me and the bank one early morning as I was tossing a buzz bait is reading this and wont do that again.

Have a nice day
