I obviously don't know where you boat or the actions of the jetskiers
there. The same goes for everyone else that posts negative comments
about jetskiers here. I only know that where I boat AND jetski, I have
never seen the kinds of actions described here and I have found that
jetskiers, old and young, are at least as respectful as most boaters.
When going fast they are no worse than any bass boater and certainly
no louder. I have yet to see a jetski that is 1/10th as loud as those
asshole boaters that have their un-muffled exhausts above the
waterline just to hear their obnoxious boats' noise. I have, however,
noticed boaters (a very small minority) that go out of their way to
screw with jetskiers. Those folks think that because they can afford a
$100,000 boat that they own the damn river and others can't have some
fun. They are also the ones that plow a huge wake whenever they see a
jonboat or the crew team. I have seen the few that scream at
jetskiers, who are minding their own business, just because they don't
like them. Sorry, but they have as much right to use the waterways as
the boaters.

Now don't get me wrong. I am not accusing you of being one of those
obnoxious or uptight boaters. I am also not trying to claim that there
are not any obnoxious and asshole jetskiers. But I am saying that just
because there are some is no reason to **** on the poor guy that was
asking a question here any more than all boaters should be condemned
because of the ones I described above.

Your post is classic John. A perfect window into the mind of a jet ski
operator.
