The 150' rule isn't perfect. Sometimes all the coming on and off plane seems to create more trouble than it prevents.

Now that I made that title, its also a rule to drive to the right of the solid yellow line. The rule of 150' sometimes is hard to judge. I recall a neighbor trying to teach his children this distance put a bottle (plastic) out 150' from shore to mark starting point for sking. He got a ticket for coming within 150' of the bottle. How many places on the lake is 150' or more deep? and is their any sunken boats down their within 150' of surface?
