Again, to both of you, I guess you're being oh so humorous, but should
these same kind of penalties be applied towards other non-pwc boaters
who break the rules, speed or wake zones, overtaking or being overtaken
improperly, not having enough life jackets on board or not having
jackets on all children, drinking alcoholic beverages while
boating....or is it just those violators whose boat types annoy you
personally, who should be subject to this kind of thing? Just
wondering.

If you were speaking to me, I believe that the rules apply to everyone
equally. I was the proud owner of several sailboats, several powerboats
and one Sea Doo. I loved them all. They each have had their place in my
boating life.

Nope Jim, I wasn't speaking to you but to PDW and Ganz. You sound like
an open-minded friendly person with a good positive attitude towards
all kinds of boats and all kinds of boaters, unlike those two guys and
some of the others I"ve been exchanging posts with here.

Still ranting? Who said the rules should be different?????

I've been sailing - you know, quietly enjoying time on the water, in an
area where there are *no* PWC's......

As for your pathetic whine below, WRT breaking speed zones etc, sure.
As for not carrying safety gear aboard, I don't give a rat's, frankly,
since the only people going to be harmed are those directly
responsible.

Ditto for consuming alcohol.

Now where does that leave you? Nowhere because you know damn well that
the reason PWC and owners of PWC have such a bad rep is because they
*earned* it.
