[QUOTE="WoodsRider, post: 24040, member: 16545"] In trying to keep this thread from turning into a flame, I'd like to state a few points. 1) There are little, if any, controls placed on PWC operators. How many 12 year-olds can legally operate a 750cc motorcycle? Yet many times I have seen young children operating PWC's. 2) Many lakes throughout the country are considering PWC restrictions of some type. My personal experience with this was at Lake Conroe in Texas, where PWC accidents quadrupled in a 2 year period. Many times the wife and I felt it was unsafe to ski behind our boat due to the number of PWCs on the water. 3) PWC's are simple to operate (especially compared to the old stand-up jet skis) and new operators quickly become over-confident. Analogous to quads... and we all know how we feel about them sometimes... inexperienced operators are responsible for more something like 70% of all PWC accidents. 4) Some of these same problems also occur with small boats used for skiing and/or fishing. However PWC's are more affordable, take up less room and require less maintenance, so there are more of them. While I do not agree with bans of any type, I do feel that restrictions should be placed on PWC's and small boats. Perhaps some sort of licensing system governed by the Coast Guard. ------------------ '98 GasGas EC250 '01 Sponsors: me, myself, I [/QUOTE]
