ain't the internet great? I'm not sure if it's for real, nor how
much it would cost, and hadn't thought about the boating
possibilities of such a device; but it supposedly can be made to work
on a bicycle, so presumably a suitable power source could easily be
carried on a small boat. The possible scenarios are quite
entertaining - Star Trek meets Wiley Coyote - if a yahoo on a jet ski
harrasses you, just whip out your handy Acme ignition death-ray,
select stun or kill depending on your level of aggravation, point it
at the offending machine (keeping it discretely out of sight) and zap
his motor; then you calmly sail away, tipping your hat to the
offending rider as he tries to figure out what happened to his
toy....... instant karma!

I learned a long time ago that just looking dangerous could be quite

jetskiiers). So I took to carrying my trusty little Ruger 10/22 even
if I had no intention of hunting. When the snowmobile crowd came by
it remained solidly on my shoulder but for some reason they figured
it was better to be somewhere else and the rest of the day would be
spent in quiet solitude. (Among snowmobile groups I guess word
travels fast.) And, as a side benefit, if the opportunity arose I
could have rabbit stew for supper.
I'm not sure how to apply this to a small boat unless you were to
conspicuously hang a shotgun on a set of gun racks behind a portlight
(does West Marine sell these??). A 12 ga. Mossberg pump in marinecote
finish would be appropriate and impressive but check your local laws.
And, of course, never brandish a weapon unless you are in physical
danger and fully intend to use it. Even a flare gun.

That is why the camera. If I called the lake patrol I'm sure the
perps would be long gone before the LP got there.
Now, if I have a nice video of them being unsafe, with the
registration numbers clear on the jetski, less than ten feet from the
boat...
You have to know the talk of torpedos and other nautical weopons are
venting. Although, if I could figure out how to send a directional

No disrespect intended but, do not take the law into your own hands.
That usually only results in problems being amplified (boat rage?)
Please report incidents of unsafe boating to your local authorities.
They in turn will pass it on to the boat owner that their actions have
been noted as being reckless and they are at risk of losing their
registration.
Enjoy Safe boating.

Once when I was a kid living on an H28 we were anchored off an island
in the Hauraki Gulf at the opposite end of the beach to the ski lane
trying to have lunch with cups of tea, when some skiiers decided we
needed to be disturbed by them. We told them to go back to the ski
lane as there wake and noise were disturbing our lunch and they
weren't allowed were they were. There response? They came even closer
and behaved even more obnoxiously.
Revenge time!
We took a floating line tied from the boat and rowed it out and
anchoured it. We then set a bouy about two thirds of the way out. When
the skiiers came back to rev us up again, they went as close as they
could to the bouy not realising there was a floating line going
further out. Result, The broke there shear pin and stalled right next
to us were we had lots of fun making fun of there incompetence.
A different problem to the jet skis but satisfiying never the less.

Suggest use of camera or video camera. Or just use a fake camera. I'll bet it would make them nervous. Particularly if you then ostentatiously call the Coast Guard with your fake radio.
Maybe you could invite a member of the local constabulatory out with you. He could lay low until right moment.
At my parent's place on a freshwater lake, I have often wished for torpedoes. Alternatively, I thought if I put a little foam on one end of about 2" long heavy wires, that these would be sucked up into intake of jet ski without damaging normal motors. However, I have refrained from this as not all the jet skis are obnoxious, believe it or not. And some of their close neighbors have them.
I realize these are all inconvenient complications.
I suspect the camera idea is better.

Maybe one of those super sqirt guns, filled with the liquid contents

Well, took the AF2 out sailing today. Comment from bystander: "That
looks like a fake boat!"

So, what do you do when the brain crew on the jet skis decide it
would be fun to plot a collision course with the slow moving
sailboat, then turn at the last minute and see if they can splash the
crew? Call the lake patrol on the cell phone, or break out the flare
gun and see if you can hit a moving target?
