Boating -- Who has right of way?

hoytglp · 07-05-2004, 08:28 PM

Has anyone out there been as frustrated as I have on the water with boaters who don't know the rules of boating.What does everyone think of the idea of having Marine Patrol stationed at boat ramps and asking ONE simple question--- Who has the right of way on the water? If they can't answer what do you think should be done? Myself I think the lake would be a lot less crowded. In a full day on the lake maybe two boats will actually give way when they should . If people would start to give way when they should maybe it would catch on, and boaters would think ,wow what are they doing letting me by?
