The key to the laws that are we already have is ENFORCEMENT!! Why pass more, 'tougher' laws if you aren't properly enforcing the ones that are already in existence? There are noise level laws. There are 'wake' laws. There are dangerous operation laws. When was the last time ANYONE was given a ticket for violating any of these? I have never seen it. I have been subjected to the 'thunder runs'. I know how dangerous and inconsiderate those 'boaters' are. But the answer is not to ban all who may drive a simular boat. I have also been subjected to fools on wave runners who have made me have to make swift, dangerous course corrections to avoid collision. Why aren't those little gnats of the boating world banned also? The answer now is it is only a matter of time and money till they are.

A freind told me recently of coming up river near the Boardwalk when a 'big boat' passed him on his starboard beam and cut to port right in front of him causing him to chop throttle to idle. The wake washed over his railing and deluged him and his family and bounced them around pretty good. But what ticked him off the most is that the water patrol was approaching from the oppisite direction, and just continued on as nothing had happened. He said they might not have known the extent of the wake he suffered, but there is NO WAY they didn't see him get cut off like that. They just continued on down river. I am not bashing the WP, but with enforcement like that, it is no wonder some folks feel invincible when at the helm. It is also no wonder that some wish to see them gone comepletely. Point is, enforce the laws already in existince before passing more.
