How big is your boat?

I can see your problem. A pontoon boat in that situation can be a
little twitchy.

I'm not sure a sign is going to do you much good.


========================================

Not at all. Be glad you don't have to contend with 50 ft sportfish or
motor yachts with tsunami sized wakes.


If HE slows down to idle in the pontoon, he'll be making 2-3 kts. I'd be
making 6, which means I can pass him at a reasonable clip and be on my way.

If he tries to get cute and runs at 8-9 kts though, he's then forcing me to
go by him either fully on plane (which he doesn't want) or worse, "in the
hole" (which he REALLY doesn't want)
