That would be so cool!
Maybe hang Capt'n Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from a yard arm!

I guess my real question has to do with liability. If I have been told correctly by folks who claim to know, in Massachusetts, if you hit a pothole that has been reported to the state, then you are allowed to file suit to recoup your loses. (Tire, rim ect). If that pothole has not been reported then you are not entitled to any compensasion.

So, My question is along those lines. If folks have reported the location of a rock to the state (Lat & Log) and the state does not mark the rock, are you entitled to seek monetary recourse from the state if you hit it?

I think it's one thing to know that rocks aren't marked because the state is unaware of them, (you're on your own) but quite another if the rocks aren't marked and the state has been notified of them by various boaters on various occasions.

Thoughts?
