according to the FWC website a federal navigation law is considered florida law.

you guys would not believe what i saw today! some 4 kids probably 18+ 20's with their girl friends that probably borrwed their dad's boat.

16ft +- a foot boat with a 30hp evinrude e-tec

i am at the dock next to the bridge working on the old boat. then thing i hear is rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr a boat speeding through a idle zone/no wake. i think...idiots...

i go home then i see them at the boat ramp. just went in took a look at the boat then walked right out.

i do not think we can disagree about this and everybody SHOULD obey this law. same for every law... ahem powerloading....

did i mention that a rule is a law?

Kenny Rodgers said it best "you gotta know when to hold um, know when to fold um, know when to walk away and know when to run. :D

Coolguy do you fish? Fishing teaches patience....... you will see MANY MANY laws broken daily both on the water and on the roads. Enforcing the rules is entirely another story........

Possibly with your passion...... you might consider a career goal of becoming a Fish and Wildlife Officer ;)

Yeah...... but think of all of the violations you could prevent and 34K/yr is the starting salary.

Set your sights high coolguy and strive to achieve your targets.:):)
You just have to be prepared to grab hold of something on the way down in case you fall.:eek:
