(and should have been) hauled into court.
IMHO, only "points on your drivers license" for unsafe powerboat operation
will make any difference to these yobs.

May not be a great idea.
You are a sitting duck in a slow moving boat. These guys can
come back with reinforcements in a hurry.
I remember a couple years back being aboard a small excursion
boat in Florida. A couple of jetskiers were buzzing around --
jumping our wake, etc. One of them wiped out and a
spontaneous cheer went up from the excursion boat
passengers. I guess he was a bit miffed because he extended a
middle finger salute. Then he got back on his steed, came
racing at us, slewed into a high speed turn, and threw up a
mini-tsunami -- drenching all we chagrined folks on board.

I remember a couple years back being aboard a small excursion
boat in Florida. A couple of jetskiers were buzzing around --
jumping our wake, etc. One of them wiped out and a
spontaneous cheer went up from the excursion boat
passengers. I guess he was a bit miffed because he extended a
middle finger salute. Then he got back on his steed, came
racing at us, slewed into a high speed turn, and threw up a
mini-tsunami -- drenching all we chagrined folks on board.
